Chua Beng Huat (simplified Chinese: 蔡明发; traditional Chinese: 蔡明發; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Chhòa Bêng-hoat) is a Singaporean sociologist.[1] He is currently Professor Emeritus in the Department of Sociology, Faculty of Arts and Social Science at the National University of Singapore,[1] and concurrently serving as a faculty member (Social Science [Urban Studies]) at the Yale-NUS College.[2] "He has previously served as Provost Chair Professor, Faculty of Arts and Social Science (2009-2017), Research Leader, Cultural Studies in Asia Research Cluster, Asia Research Institute (2000-2015); Convenor Cultural Studies Programmes (2008-2013) and Head, the Department of Sociology (2009-2015), National University of Singapore".[2]
Chua studied Biology and Chemistry in his undergraduate years.[1] His involvement with student political activities made him realize that he did not have the right personality for natural science.[1] He headed to York University, Toronto, to take up Environmental Studies in 1970. A year later, he switched to Sociology and received a M.A and a PhD.[2][3]
