Yoosun Park Author

Yoosun Park, PhD, MSW, is Associate Professor in the School for Social Work at Smith College and Editor-in-Chief of Affilia: Journal of Women and Social Work. Dr. Park's scholarship, framed within the broad substantive area of immigration, is informed by poststructuralist theories of discourse and methods of inquiry. It pursues two overlapping lines of inquiry: social work's history with immigrants/immigration and the study of contemporary issues pertinent to immigrants/immigration. Her examinations of the current and past discourses of the profession aim to identify and engender the development of alternative lines of inquiry, question formulation, and conceptualization.
