Detailed contents of research
How do poverty spoil a “life” of individual human beings? What kind of systems and human services（Social Work and Education） are required to mitigate it? I have engaged in field studies in Japan and overseas driven by those questions.
My present academic activity outside Japan is an investigation research aiming to reveal how children and youths of impoverished families in local cities of Northern India experience school education and whether school education helps them break out of poverty. In Japan, I am advancing my research with focus placed on movements of people using the livelihood protection system（Public assistance／Seikatsuhogo） in order to identify difficulties and possibilities of their raising their <voices> (opinions and demands) in society.
