Lui and Hsiao Study Exit-Voice Dynamics in Hong Kong

CSDE Affiliates Lake Lui (Sociology, National Taiwan University) and Yuan Hsiao (Communication, UW) released a new article in International Migration Review, titled “Exit-Voice Dynamics: How do Hong Kong People Respond to Democratic Backsliding?“. Does people’s greater intention to migrate deter them from participating in protests? How does protest participation shape intention to migrate? How does the relationship between migration intention and protest change amidst Hong Kong’s transition to authoritarianism? Drawing upon Hirschman’s exit-voice theory, this study examines the relationship between protest and migration intentions against the changing context across time. Authors use a time-series dataset on Hong Kong’s anti-extradition movement of late 2019 for our analysis.

*New* Evans Seminar with Bethany Gordon (4/24/24)

The Evans School will be hosting a seminar with Dr. Bethany Gordon (Civil and Environmental Engineering, UW) on Wednesday, April 24th from 11:30-12:30 PM in 360 PAR. Dr. Gordon specializes in applications of behavioral science and psychology to improve design processes for a more equitable built environment. Her research also focuses on climate justice and addressing designer positionality (i.e., framing assumptions, stakeholder perspective-taking) in large-scale infrastructure design.  Dr. Gordon’s work aims to increase knowledge about how individuals or teams: 1) conceptualize collective identities in increasingly diverse spaces, 2) can overcome the environmental cues that restrict inclinations for equitable and resilient decision-making, and 3), can leverage climate adaptation to remediate past harms enacted by the built environment.
