Stephen
Duguid received his BA in History from the
University of Illinois in 1966 and completed his MA
(1970) and PhD (1977) in Middle Eastern history at Simon
Fraser University.
He taught for seven years (1973-1980) in the University
of Victoria's Correctional Education Program, offering
courses in European history to students at several federal
prisons in British Columbia. For much of that time he
was the Coordinator of the University's program at Matsqui
Medium Security Institution.
From 1980 to 1991, Duguid was the Director of Humanities
Programs in the Office of Continuing Studies at Simon
Fraser University and in 1991 was appointed Associate
Professor in Humanities and Graduate Liberal Studies.
From 1984 to 1993, Duguid was the Director of Simon
Fraser University's Prison Education Program which offered
degree completion courses in four federal prisons in
B.C. He was, as well, one of the founding members of
the University's Community Economic Development Program
and, from 1992-97 was the Director of the Graduate Liberal
Studies Program, a part-time MA program for adult students
offered at Simon Fraser's Harbour Centre campus.
Duguid has published widely in the field of prisoner
education and is a frequent speaker at conferences and
other events in this field. From 1993-96 he was the
principal investigator in a major SSHRC-funded follow-up
study of @800 former prisoner-students, the results
of which were published in a Final Report and is available
at www.sfu.ca/humanities/ifeps/research.
Much of this research is reviewed in Duguid's most recent
publication, Can Prisons Work: The Prisoner As Object
and Subject in Modern Corrections (University of
Toronto Press, 2000).
