My research examines how modern and contemporary reproductive and medical institutions, discourses, and practices shape children, families, gender relations, and processes of subject formation, primarily through historical research and qualitative methods. Focusing on modern and contemporary Japan, including Okinawa, I analyze the relationships among poverty, young pregnancy, single-parent households, social support networks, and family practices.
