About Tam Ho Yau Yo Yo
Hello! I’m a junior at the University of Hong Kong, pursuing a dual major in History and Korean Studies.
My project explores how local attitudes shape refugees’ experiences and how public opinion interacts with government policies in this process. Using 1990s Korea and 1960s Hong Kong as case studies, I examine how refugees were received, how communities influenced their sense of belonging, and what lessons these histories offer for understanding refugee issues today.
