About Tam Ho Yau Yo Yo
Hello! I’m a sophomore at the University of Hong Kong, pursuing a dual major in History and Korean Studies, with a minor in Hong Kong Studies. I’m currently on exchange at Yonsei University!
My research project is related to relief help in South Korea and Hong Kong in the 1980s-90s. I am trying to see how an individual’s sense of belonging to a place affects their willingness to help incoming refugees, using Hong Kong and South Korea during the influx of Mainland Chinese and North Koreans in the 1980s–90s as case-studies. This research may shed light on how to optimise relief efforts among current and potential refugees through a better understanding of motivating factors.
