Deblina Dey is interested in the sociology of ageing. Her research lies at the intersection of care, law, and inequality, with a particular focus on ageing populations in India. She has been awarded fellowships from the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research, New York, and the United States–India Educational Foundation (USIEF), which administers the Fulbright Program, to study the evolving models and practices of eldercare in India. She is particularly interested in questions of control and regulation of ageing bodies by medicine, the market and the law. Some of her publications can be viewed here. Through CAARNet, she seeks to cultivate a collaborative space where scholarship on care and ageing can inform meaningful social and policy interventions. 

Dr. Yoshiko Miyata Ishioka 

Coordinator, CAARNet

Professor of Psychology, Jindal School of Liberal Arts and Humanities 

O.P. Jindal Global University, India

Yoshiko Miyata Ishioka is a researcher specialising in the psychology of ageing. Originally based in Japan, she is currently conducting research in India. While Japan is often seen as a leading example of a super-aged society due to its high proportion of older adults and long life expectancy, there is much to learn from neighbouring Asian countries and their diverse cultural approaches to ageing. She is committed to building a network where researchers and students interested in ageing and care can connect, collaborate, and contribute to shaping a society that values longevity and intergenerational well-being. Her background and most of her work can be found here.
