Mo'e Yaisikana is a member of Cou (Indigenous Taiwanese) and a doctoral student at the School of Social Welfare. His intellectual interests concern care equity for Taiwan's older adults. He examines the construction and hindrance of care policies and service delivery system and aims to unravel a comprehensive, systematic, intersecting dynamic form of power to help explain challenges for Indigenous elders' accessibility to care service. His research includes the development of care service techniques, the intersection between governmental service and political democratization, and Indigenous knowledge toward health and well-being. He engages with the academic community to develop the Equitable Aging in Health Conceptual Framework. This new conceptual framework infuses justice throughout intervention development to produce equitable aging outcomes and help researchers, policymakers, and practitioners understand and explain disparities in aging and, ultimately, how to achieve equitable aging outcomes for older adults.
