Head and shoulders passport photo of Dr. Man-Kam Leung, Associate Professor of History.

Bio/Historical Note: Dr. Man-Kam Leung was born on 2 December 1937 in China at a time when the country was in turmoil and at war. Second in a group of seven children and the first son in the family, from a very young age Leung learned how to share many of the family responsibilities. In the 1950s the family moved to Hong Kong where he attended high school and the University of Hong Kong, where he majored in Chinese history, philosophy and literature. Dr. Leung graduated in 1963 with high honours. Right after his graduation, he received the prestigious East-West Center full scholarship to pursue his graduate work in History at the University of Hawaii. Dr. Leung obtained his MA and PhD there. In 1965 he joined the newly founded Department of Far Eastern Studies at the University of Saskatchewan, teaching Chinese and Japanese history, classical and modern Chinese, Southeast Asian history, Chinese philosophy and Chinese literature. In 1984 Dr. Leung transferred to the History department, where he taught Chinese and Japanese history until his retirement in June 2005, finishing a teaching career spanning 40 years. At retirement, he donated his entire book collection of 60,000 volumes to the U of S library, which included rare reference books on China and Japan. Dr. Leung died in Saskatoon in 2019.
