Atsuko Matsuoka

My past research has been on the intersectionality of oppression and 1) identity issues related to the older population and 2) identity issues among the diaspora population from the Horn of Africa. Continuing my interests in ethnoracial minority older adults, I have been working on abuse among older immigrant adults and developed an intervention model using restorative justice mediation. I continue to work on Wellness Recovery Action Plan with older adults in which I use strengths-based critical social work and a mental health recovery approach. Currently I examine intersectionality of oppression and social justice beyond human animals in the hope of developing the area of social work and animals from an animal rights perspective.

• Application of the strengths-based critical social work approach  more...

  Description: 
  This study explores application of the strengths-based critical social work approach. A part of this work was supported by funding from Japan when this approach was applied for social work practice education. The results were published in 2007 as a book, Kuritical social work to datsukoutikubunseki: Ensyu keisiki ni yoru naiseisikouno manabi (Critical Social Work and Analysing Practice through Deconstruction: Experiential Learning). It also was applied in developing a new intervention model for elder abuse by using restorative justice. Now I am working for opportunities to apply it with ethno-racial older adults and mental health.

• Ethno-minority seniors and health care  more...

  Description: 
  The objective of this proposed project is to explore how to facilitate continuity of access to timely and appropriate care for ethno-racial older adults throughout acute, primary and home and community care as well as the continuum of patient-health system interactions (such as health promotion/disease prevention, episodic care and chronic care).

Research involved collecting stories from ex-female fighters, female students, civilians, and officials. The study is in the final stage, in which a book manuscript is being revised.
