Anne-Marie Lee-Loy’s research and teaching interests emerge from her background in postcolonial studies. Her work focuses primarily on questions of representation of minority diasporic populations and the construction of cultural identities. She has taught a wide range of courses at Toronto Metropolitan University informed by postcolonial issues and approaches, immigrant writing, Canadian short stories, Asian literatures and cultures, as well as diasporic modernities and postcolonial literatures. Her research publications examine representations of the Chinese Caribbean within an increasingly broader context of Asians in the Americas, and her work has been published in journals such as Asian Studies Review, Journal of Chinese Overseas, Caribbean Studies, and Anthurium. Her monograph, 'Searching Mr. Chin: Constructions of Nation in Chinese West Indian Literature' (Philadelphia: Temple University Press, 2010), won the 2011 Gordon K. Sybil Lewis Book Prize from the Caribbean Studies Association. Additionally, she co-organized the SSHRC-supported international conference 'Counter Cultures: Space and Place of the Chinese Shop International Conference', which was held at Toronto Metropolitan University from July 24 to 26, 2011. Currently, she is developing an online network for scholars interested in the Chinese shopkeeping motif to organize transnational dialogues on Chinese diasporic experiences.
