Janice Ho

Janice Ho serves as Associate Professor and Associate Head (Curriculum & Planning) in the Department of English Language and Literatures at the University of British Columbia's Faculty of Arts. Previously, she taught at the University of Colorado Boulder after completing her graduate studies at Cornell University. Her academic profile spans British and transnational modernisms, postcolonial/decolonial studies, and infrastructure-focused literary analysis.

Educational background:

• BA (First Class Honours), University of Queensland
• MA, Cornell University
• PhD, Cornell University

Ho's research investigates twentieth- and twenty-first century British literature through intersecting frameworks of citizenship, empire, and infrastructure. Her work critically examines how sociopolitical transformations—from women's suffrage to colonial welfare policies—reshape literary representations of national identity. Current projects extend these inquiries into midcentury development discourses and contemporary global issues like Afropolitanism and refugee crises.

Publication trends reveal consistent engagement with postcolonial theory and modernist aesthetics, evolving toward infrastructure studies in recent works. Her scholarship frequently analyzes canonical authors (Conrad, Woolf, Rushdie) while addressing urgent themes of human rights and transnational governance through literary lenses.
