Dr. Park is currently working on several archival research projects: tracing the role of social workers in the World War Two internment of Japanese Americans; the role of exoticism in the construction of refugees and immigrants in U.S. social work discourse; and a historical analysis of the development of the concept of cultural competency in U.S. social work.
