ABOUT THE LECTURERS
Dr. Rei Magosaki
Associate Professor, Chapman University Wilkinson College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences; Department of English
Rei Magosaki is a specialist in the field of twentieth- and twenty-first century American literature and culture.
Professor Magosaki is teaching at Chapman University in California. Her specialty is twentieth- and twentieth-first century culture and literature with more emphasis on Asian American studies. She is currently working on the topic of Japanese internment during World War II, and her latest article “Beyond Railroads and Internment?” is published in American Literature this year. She writes in both English and in Japanese, and her scholarly essays have been published in the U.S., Japan, India, and elsewhere. Professor Magosaki’s monograph, Tricksters and Cosmopolitans: Cross-Cultural Collaborations in Asian American Literary Production (Fordham UP, 2016), is the first sustained exploration into the history of cross-cultural collaborations between Asian American writers and their non-Asian American editors and publishers.
