Dr. Kenneth Chan obtained his Ph.D. degree from the Department of English at the University of Florida in 1999. He began teaching as a graduate assistant at Clemson University and the University of Florida, before going on to assistant professor positions at the National University of Singapore and Nanyang Technological University, where he offered courses in composition, literary studies and theory, film studies, and cultural studies.

His forthcoming book, Remade in Hollywood: The Global Chinese Presence in Post-1997 American and Transnational Chinese Cinemas, will be published in 2009 by Hong Kong University Press. Apart from the Chinese in Hollywood, Chan's research extends to transnational Chinese cinemas, Asian American film and literature, British-Asian literature, Singapore studies, gender and sexuality studies, queer theory, and contemporary American film. His essays have also appeared or are forthcoming in various journals such as Cinema Journal, Tulsa Studies in Women's Literature, Journal of Chinese Cinemas, Discourse, Moving Worlds, and Camera Obscura. Chan plans next to direct his research attention to the emerging political aesthetic of global screen violence and its ethical and cultural implications in a post-9/11 world order.

With its mission to preserve and promote Asian cinema, the Asian Film Archive was accepted into the ranks of the International Federation of Film Archives (FIAF), which includes world-leading organizations such as the British Film Institute.
