About Tam Ho Yau Yo Yo
I am a junior at the University of Hong Kong majoring in History and Korean Studies. I have always been deeply interested in issues related to migration, displacement, and refuge in East Asia.
I conducted a research titled "Bridging Policy and Community: How Government and Locals Shaped Refugee Experiences in 1990s Korea and 1960s Hong Kong" in 2025 for my first summer and looking forward, I want to equip myself with hands-on experience interacting with refugees to better understand their lived realities. To that end, I will be volunteering with Offene Arme in Chios, Greece, during the summer of 2026.
I am interested in exploring career pathways in academia, NGOs, or policy research. I am always happy to connect with others working on migration, displacement, and related fields—please feel free to reach out!
