Dr. Miwako Hosoda, Professor of Seisa
University, Project Researcher of University
of Tokyo Institute of Medical Science, has
been conducting her sociological research
though observing human relations in the
healthcare field. Using knowledge from her
prior research on patient advocacy,
healthcare policy, and public participation
in medicine, she has been making
collaborative efforts with local residents
with illnesses and disabilities she had
engaged. Together, they are continuing to
seek out ways to help the recovery in their
communities.
Dr. Hosoda graduated from the Department of
Sociology at the University of Tokyo in
1992, and received an MA and PhD in
Sociology from the University of Tokyo.
After working as a research fellow at the
Japan Society for the Promotion of
Science（JSPS）, she studied at Columbia
University Mailman School of Public Health
as associate, and Harvard T.H. Chan School
of Public Health as research fellow. Upon
returning to Japan, she joined the Seisa
University in 2012 and served as vice
president from 2013 to 2020.
Dr. Hosoda was elected as president of ISA
(International Sociological Association),
Research Committee of Sociology of Health
(2018-2023), and APSA (Asia Pacific
Sociological Association (2017-2020). She is
currently Vice President of APSA,
Representative Director of the Japanese
Society for Brain Injury Caring Communities,
Representative Director of IAFA (Inclusive
Action For All).
