Biography
[edit]Choy grew up in New York City and attended Stuyvesant High School.[1] Choy received her Bachelor of Arts in History from Pomona College in 1991, where she graduated cum laude. Choy proceeded to finish her Master of Arts from UCLA in 1993, and then a Ph.D. in History from UCLA in 1998.[2]
Books
[edit]In 2003, Choy published a book entitled Empire of Care: Nursing and Migration in Filipino American History, which was reviewed in the American Historical Review by Madeline Hsu.[3] Empire of Care traces the history and migration of Filipino nurses. Choy uses the term "empire of care" to refer global inequalities in health services due to an inequitable distribution of healthcare providers around the world. She argues that international migration patterns of nurses only serve to exacerbate those inequalities.[4]
In 2013, Choy's book Global Families: A History of Asian International Adoption in America was published. It was reviewed in the American Historical Review,[5] Adoption Quarterly,[6] the Journal of Asian American Studies,[7] and The Journal of the History of Childhood and Youth.[8]
