Ai ANDO

Associate ProfessorMy main area of research is family and welfare sociology, with a particular focus on foster parents and children. Through my studies, I have explored topics such as child poverty and the relationship between juvenile justice and childcare. My ultimate goal is to contribute to the creation of a society where children’s best interests are protected, regardless of their background and environment, and where caring for others, particularly, child-caring, is valued and respected.

Recent Topics of Interests: Family changes among non-standard families, Maternal research
Hobby / Holiday: Going to the park with my children
