Guy Beauregard
I'm a Professor at National Taiwan University where I work across the fields of postcolonial studies, Asian North American studies, and transpacific studies. Contact me at: guy [at] ntu.edu.tw.
I received my PhD in English from the University of Alberta and was a postdoctoral fellow in Ethnic Studies at the University of California, Berkeley and in English at the University of British Columbia. After moving to Taiwan, I worked as a junior faculty member at National Tsing Hua University, where I participated in some on-the-ground institution building by directing the Empire and Overseas Literature project. At National Taiwan University, I was a collaborating member of the SIAAS project, a multi-campus initiative dedicated to furthering Asian American critical work in Taiwan and elsewhere in Asia. I've been a visiting scholar in Sociology and Equity Studies in Education at OISE at the University of Toronto; in European and American Studies at Academia Sinica; and at Simon Fraser University's David Lam Centre and the Institute for Transpacific Cultural Research, where I am an Associate Member.
I'm committed to the project of critical education in the humanities and have discussed aspects of my teaching, both inside and outside the classroom, in some of the publications listed below. I've received recognition for my work as an educator: I'm a five-time recipient of university-level teaching awards. I am also on the Editorial Boards of Canadian Literature and Concentric: :Literary and Cultural Studies and on the Advisory Board of Studies in Canadian Literature.

Books by Guy Beauregard
The essays in this collection provide a sharper understanding of how Asian/Americans have been subjected to human rights violations, how they act as subjects of history and agents of change, and how they produce knowledge around such subjects. The contributors examine refugee narratives, human trafficking, and citizenship issues in twentieth- and twenty-first century literature. These themes further refract issues of American war-making, settler colonialism, military occupation, collateral damage, and displacement that relocate the imagined geographies of Asian America from the periphery to the center of human rights critique.
Contributors: Guy Beauregard, Annie Isabel Fukushima, Mayumo Inoue, Masumi Izumi, Dinidu Karunanayake, Christine Kim, Min-Jung Kim, Christopher Lee, Hsiu-chuan Lee, Vinh Nguyen, Christopher B. Patterson, Cathy J. Schlund-Vials, Madeleine Thien, Yin Wang, and Grace Hui-chuan Wu.
