Alexandra Hui

Alexandra Hui is an Associate Professor of History at Mississippi State University, specializing in the history of science and technology, agricultural and environmental history, and sound studies. Her research examines intersections of music, sound, silence, and scientific practice, with a focus on how scientists' sensory experiences and aging influence their work. Current projects include histories of background music, environmental listening practices, and interventions in climate policy.

She recently presented at the Science Studies Colloquium Series (University of Oslo, August 2025) on "The Senescent Scientist: world-making and scientific skills over a finite life," exploring how aging affects scientific skills and sensory engagement in research. Her work bridges historical analysis with contemporary environmental challenges.

Hui holds a position in the Department of History and contributes to interdisciplinary discussions on science, technology, and society. She has authored monographs, co-edited volumes, and peer-reviewed articles, though specific publication details are not provided here.
