Born on April 18, 1949 in London, England, Ian Angus immigrated to Canada in 1958. Initially living in Toronto, Angus moved to B.C. from 1981-83, and returned again in 1992. A few of his books include (Dis)Figurations, Primal Scenes of Communication and A Border Within. In his study of English Canadian philosophy, Identity and Justice, he suggests that English Canada "harbours a secret and unofficial dream of self-rule," partially in response to the technological advances and a world market economy.
Angus has taught as a professor of Humanities at Simon Fraser University and lives in East Vancouver with wife Viviana Elsztein and their daughter Cassandra.
