Our Team


  • Founder, Director

    Katy Long has worked on refugee and migration issues for over a decade. Born in the UK, she became an immigrant herself when she moved to San Francisco in 2014. Katy has held faculty positions at the Universities of Oxford, LSE and Edinburgh, as well as a Visiting Fellowship at Stanford. She's worked on a range of projects with organizations, including the United Nations High Commission for Refugees, the International Labor Organization, the World Bank and the Migration Policy Institute. In the past 5 years, her focus has been on migration storytelling, and she's presented and produced several BBC Radio documentaries, as well as written for publications including The Guardian and The Washington Post. Katy believes telling migration history right is vital, because only then can we understand who "we" are now — and who we want to become. That's why in 2021 she founded the California Migration Museum.
