Political Science and Public Policy
She/Her/Hers

Dr. Cecilia Hyunjung Mo is the Judith E.Gruber Associate Professor of Political Science and Public Policy at University of California, Berkeley.

Professor Mo specializes in behavioral political economy, comparative political behavior, the political economy of development, and social policy research. Her scholarly contributions can be broadly classified as being of two types. First, she is substantively interested in the economic, political, and social consequences of increased inequality. Second, she is focused on understanding democratic citizenship and the development of informed interventions aimed at promoting the values and behaviors that define effective citizenship today. To date, her research has generated insights on the following challenges to democratic citizenship: (1) group-based intolerance (e.g., voter prejudice and anti-immigrant sentiment); (2) irrational or uninformed political participation (e.g., irrelevant events like college football games); (3) the lack of political engagement (e.g., low voter turnout or low political ambition among minority candidates); and (4) contemporary slavery or human trafficking.

She has published research in numerous outlets, including the American Political Science Review, American Journal of Political Science, Journal of Politics, Political Behavior, and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. She is also the recipient of the American Political Science Association’s (APSA) 2015 Franklin L. Burdette/Pi Sigma Alpha Award and the 2018 Roberta Sigel Early Career Scholar Award. She is a three-time winner of APSA’s Best Paper Award in Political Behavior (2016, 2018, and 2019), and was named
