Biography

Tao Leigh Goffe received her Ph.D. in American Studies from Yale University. A native of London, she also grew up in New York and New Jersey. Goffe received her A.B. in English with a certificate in African American Studies from Princeton University. Her research explores the intersections between black and Asian diasporic literature in the United States, United Kingdom, and the Caribbean. She has presented her work internationally at conferences in Liverpool; Paris; and Tampere, Finland. During her time in the department of African American Studies at Princeton University, Dr. Goffe will continue to develop her book, “Chiney Royal: Afro-Asian Intimacies in the Americas.” The manuscript maps a network of Afro-Asian intimacies in the metropolises of New York’s Chinatown and Toronto as well as the plantations of the West Indies and the American South. Analyzing spy thrillers, travelogues, beauty pageant photography, radical romance novels, indenture contracts, recipes, ship manifests, reggae songs, and family photographs, all of which encompass a rich archive of Afro-Asian intimacies in the Americas, Dr. Goffe reads cultural objects against the grain of colonial history by drawing on methodologies of literary criticism and cultural history. Goffe's most recent article, “007 versus the Darker Races: Black and Yellow Peril in Dr. No,” which offers a reading of a Jamaican Chinese James Bond and the orientalist coding of Ian Fleming’s Jamaica, was published in Anthurium: A Caribbean Studies Journal. In her spare time, Tao enjoys attending roundtable discussions at the Council on Foreign Relations, DJing, fencing, and photography.
