Tim Choy

About the Author

Tim Choy is an anthropologist and scholar whose work bridges environmental studies, ethnography, and cultural critique, exploring the intersections of nature, society, and global inequalities. Drawing from his deep engagement with Hong Kong's urban landscapes and endangered ecologies, Choy examines how endangerment shapes human-nonhuman relations in postcolonial contexts. His research illuminates the politics of comparison, revealing how local practices of conservation and development reflect broader geopolitical tensions. With a background in anthropology from leading institutions, Choy's writing combines rigorous fieldwork with theoretical innovation, offering fresh perspectives on sustainability and cultural resilience. He currently teaches at the University of California, Santa Cruz, where he continues to influence interdisciplinary dialogues on ecology and endangerment.
