Nadine Attewell is a scholar of empire, intimacy, and Asian and Asian diasporic life. Currently, she teaches at Simon Fraser University on unceded xʷməθkʷəy̓əm, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh, səl̓ilw̓ətaʔɬ, and kʷikʷəƛ̓əm lands in Burnaby, British Columbia, where she is an associate professor in the Department of Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies and directs the undergraduate program in Global Asia. Nadine’s first book, Better Britons: Reproduction, National Identity, and the Afterlife of Empire (2014), investigates the centrality of reproduction to postimperial projects of governance and nation-building through readings of twentieth-century literature and policy from Australia, Britain, and New Zealand, and was published by the University of Toronto Press in 2014. She is at work on a second, entitled Archives of Intimacy: Racial Mixing and Asian Lives in the Colonial Port City, about Chinese practices of interracial intimacy and multiracial community under British colonial rule. Here, she delves into the heterogeneous social worlds that flourished in port cities like Hong Kong, London, and Liverpool during the first half of the twentieth century, developing vivid accounts of port city life pieced together from a range of archival materials, including photography, community and family histories, and wartime intelligence reports, that testify to the reach and limits of empire as a structure of meaning. She has published articles in Postcolonial Text, TOPIA: Canadian Journal of Cultural Studies, Asian Diasporic Visual Cultures of the Americas, Inter-Asia Cultural Studies, Journal of Asian American Studies, and Verge: Studies in Global Asias; and sits on the editorial board of Trans Asia Photography.
