Yang-Yang Zhou

Individual Researcher
University of British Columbia, Assistant Professor
Contact View Website

Yang-Yang Zhou is an Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of British Columbia, a Harvard Academy Scholar, and a CIFAR Azrieli Global Scholar. She studies the causes and consequences of migration, with a focus on conflict, development, and national identity. 

Yang-Yang’s research is motivated by the following questions: How does the settlement of refugees and other migrants affect local public goods provision, conflict, and voting behavior? For minoritized citizens who share ethnic and cultural ties with migrants, what explains when they are inclusive versus exclusionary towards those migrant groups? And in contexts marked by anti-migrant prejudice, what works in reducing tensions? These projects receive funding from the National Science Foundation, the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, the World Bank and UNHCR.

Yang-Yang received her Ph.D. in Politics from Princeton University in 2019. She co-hosts a political science podcast called Scope Conditions.
