- Summary of research interests and expertise:

Dr Yong's research interests are in EU citizenship, immigration law and human rights of marginalised groups from a intersectional feminist perspective.
Her research primarily focuses on the intersectional impact of gender and migrant status on vulnerable women's rights. She has considered the effect of the UK's withdrawal from the EU and how the EU Settlement Scheme disproportionately affects vulnerable immigrant women. She continues to examine how the new immigration landscape in the UK affects vulnerable women at risk of or experiencing domestic abuse, focusing specifically on how migrant victim-survivors of domestic abuse are excluded from protection under the framework of immigration law in the UK.
