Early lifeDr. Chancy was born and raised in Port-au-Prince, Haiti before relocating during childhood to Quebec City, and then to Winnipeg, Canada. She attended the University of Manitoba in Manitoba, Canada, where she received a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and Philosophy with Honors. Following that, she received her master's degree in English Literature from Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia, Canada, where she wrote her thesis on “James Baldwin and the Dissolution of the Color Line.” She received her Ph.D. in English at the University of Iowa in 1994.[1] CareerChancy has held several positions in academia over the course of her lifetime. She has taught English and Women's Studies at Vanderbilt University, at Arizona State University, and at Louisiana State University. Additionally, she has held visiting professorships at both Smith College and the University of California, Santa Barbara.[1] She formerly taught courses in African Diaspora Studies, Caribbean Literature, Postcolonial Literature and Theory, Feminist Theory, Women's Studies, and Creative Writing (Fiction), at the University of Cincinnati as a Professor of English & Africana Studies.[4] From 2002 until 2004, she served as the Editor-in-Chief of the academic arts journal Meridians: feminism, race, transnationalism, receiving the Phoenix Award for Editorial Achievement from the Council of Editors of Learned Journals.[5] Chancy served on the editorial advisory board for the Journal of the Modern Language Association from 2010-2012 and on the Advisory Council in the Humanities of the Fetzer Institute from 2011-2013. In addition to her current position at Scripps College, Chancy is in the process of completing her fourth novel which focuses on post-earthquake Haiti. Spirit of Haiti, her first novel, was a Commonwealth Prize Finalist. It was followed by The Scorpion’s Claw. Chancy's third novel, The Loneliness of Angels was the 2011 recipient of the Guyana Prize in Literature Caribbean Award for Best Fiction. Her academic work Searching for Safe Spaces: Afro-Caribbean Women Writers in Exile served as one of the first books to address exile as a defining aspect of Afro-Caribbean women's experiences, while her second in 1997 was the first book-length study devoted to Haitian women's literature as a field of analysis. Chancy was granted early tenure on the basis of these two books. She published From Sugar to Revolution: Women’s Visions of Haiti, Cuba and the Dominican Republic in 2012 and received the prestigious Guggenheim Fellowship for Literary Criticism in 2014.
