About

Hosanna Fukuzawa is a social worker and PhD student in the Department of Anthropology at Johns Hopkins University. I am also an editorial intern for the American Ethnological Society.

Research

I follows health seeking practices among the Indigenous peoples to northern Japan and eastern Russia called the Ainu. At the center of my research is an effort to trace the milieu of normativity seen in the provision and receiving of mental health care in Japan, and how people with Ainu heritage navigate the fragile relations between the unmarked normal of Japanese-ness, health, and suffering.
