Biography

Mieko Yoshihama, Ph.D. is a professor of social work at the University of Michigan and a licensed social worker. Her research and practice focus on the prevention of gender-based violence and the promotion of safety of marginalized communities. Adopting a wide range of research methodologies, including art-based and participatory methods and quantitative-qualitative analyses, she examines the intersectional influence of gender,race/ethnicity, immigration status, and other social positionalities on the risk and consequences of intersectional oppression, while also innovating socioculturally responsive prevention/intervention programs. In examining the social construction of gendered disparities in disaster, she promotes more inclusive policies and program responses.
