Wong PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR I am currently Professor of Political Science and Principal's Research Chair at the University of British Columbia, Okanagan (located on Sylix Okanagan Nation Territory). I am a political scientist specializing in international relations, with research spanning global governance, technology, human rights, and civil society. In 2024, I was named UBC Okanagan Researcher of the Year. I am the author of the 2024 Balsillie Prize for Public Policy-winning book We, the Data: Human Rights in the Digital Age, which was also a finalist for the 2024 Lionel Gelber Prize and named a “favourite book” by the Journal of Democracy. I have written two other award-winning books, Internal Affairs and The Authority Trap (with Sarah S. Stroup), both published by Cornell University Press. I have penned dozens of peer-reviewed articles and chapters, and have appeared in outlets such as the CBC, The Globe and Mail, The Toronto Star, and The Conversation. My research has been supported by grants from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research, the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, and the Canada Research Chairs program, among others. https://www.wendyhwong.com/teaching daily 0.75 2025-02-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64540ae15ae4d040cedccb04/35e62eee-c6ce-4c0b-b5da-676b0e338628/WW-illustrations-06.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64540ae15ae4d040cedccb04/79e14a87-8a10-4e1a-9bb8-de52b3263231/wendy-wong-UBCO-Debates.jpg Teaching Teaching is a core part of my work and source of satisfaction. It’s hard to describe the feeling when you know you’ve nailed it and students’ eyes light up in a classroom. It’s also hard to describe the feeling when you know you need to do better because it’s clear what you understand in your head is not getting across to the people in the room. One challenge of teaching is keeping material fresh. I’m always changing and reinventing my course, even courses I have taught over and over again. It’s part of the joy of teaching. I've taught introductory courses in International Relations to hundreds of students, and intimate graduate and undergraduate seminars in Human Rights. I've also taught Global Governance and the Politics of Organization. If you'd like another syllabus from another course or want the latest version of these courses, please get in touch. https://www.wendyhwong.com/research daily 0.75 2025-12-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64540ae15ae4d040cedccb04/35e62eee-c6ce-4c0b-b5da-676b0e338628/WW-illustrations-06.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64540ae15ae4d040cedccb04/54d3a646-8ace-4c6f-b2e6-03be18df22c7/political-science-researcher-canada-usa.jpg Research CURRENT ROLE Professor of Political Science and Principal’s Research Chair Department of Economics, Philosophy, and Political Science | University of British Columbia (Okanagan campus) | Syilx Okanagan Nation Territory Associate Editor, Political Research Quarterly Member, Royal Society of Canada College of New Scholars, Artists and Scientists EDUCATION Ph.D University of California, San Diego, 2008 Field of Study: Political Science Dissertation: “Centralizing Principles: How Amnesty International Shaped Human Rights Politics through its Transnational Network.” M.A. University of California, San Diego, 2004 B.A. University of California, Berkeley, 2002 Political Science with Distinction https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64540ae15ae4d040cedccb04/a2d6e47c-bf31-4a87-896b-5b38e59984e6/WW-illustrations-03.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64540ae15ae4d040cedccb04/57126067-b0df-4e57-8d5b-81cd53cc822c/WW+illustrations.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64540ae15ae4d040cedccb04/9b4211db-f756-4d0f-9e0f-5b6c7e55eb2d/WW-illustrations-01.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64540ae15ae4d040cedccb04/57126067-b0df-4e57-8d5b-81cd53cc822c/WW+illustrations.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64540ae15ae4d040cedccb04/0228052a-9248-4f08-97da-8fa2ad14d246/wendy-wong.png https://www.wendyhwong.com/bookings-test daily 0.75 2025-02-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64540ae15ae4d040cedccb04/35e62eee-c6ce-4c0b-b5da-676b0e338628/WW-illustrations-06.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64540ae15ae4d040cedccb04/21746412-1e85-4a0d-ac77-ea4e9eaa85cd/UBCO-Debates-AI-2023-dh-072.jpg https://www.wendyhwong.com/bookings daily 0.75 2025-02-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64540ae15ae4d040cedccb04/35e62eee-c6ce-4c0b-b5da-676b0e338628/WW-illustrations-06.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64540ae15ae4d040cedccb04/21746412-1e85-4a0d-ac77-ea4e9eaa85cd/UBCO-Debates-AI-2023-dh-072.jpg https://www.wendyhwong.com/speaking daily 0.75 2026-01-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64540ae15ae4d040cedccb04/35e62eee-c6ce-4c0b-b5da-676b0e338628/WW-illustrations-06.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64540ae15ae4d040cedccb04/21746412-1e85-4a0d-ac77-ea4e9eaa85cd/UBCO-Debates-AI-2023-dh-072.jpg
