He delivered the keynote presentation for the 2019 CCCC Annual Convention, entitled "How Do We Language So People Stop Killing Each Other, Or What Do We Do About White Language Supremacy?"[4] Inoue is the recipient of multiple disciplinary and insititutional academic awards, including the 2017 CCCC Outstanding Book Award,[5][6][7] the 2017 Council of Writing Program Administrators (CWPA) Best Book Award,[6] and the 2012 Provost's Award for Teaching Excellence at California State University, Fresno.[8]

Biography

Early life & education

Inoue attended elementary school in North Las Vegas.[9] He received his B.A. in English Literature with a minor in writing studies from Oregon State University (OSU).[10] He also received his M.A from OSU. He went on to receive his PhD at Washington State University.[1]

Teaching career

Inoue worked at Chemeketa Community College in a tenure-track position, before deciding to pursue his PhD at Washington State University. In the early to mid 2010s, Asao worked at California State University, Fresno as an associate professor, where he served as the Special Assistant to the Provost for Writing Across the Curriculum.[11][12][9] He went on to serve as an associate professor of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences and director of the Writing Center at University of Washington, Tacoma.[13][14][15] From 2019-2021, he served as the Associate Dean of Academic Affairs, Equity and Inclusion at Arizona State University in the College of Integrative Sciences and Arts.[1] In the summer of 2021, he returned to full time faculty as Professor of Rhetoric and Composition in the same college.

Philanthropy

In early 2021, Inoue created an antiracist teaching endowment with his partner/wife, Kelly, to be housed at their alma mater, Oregon State University. The Asao and Kelly Inoue Antiracist Teaching Endowment supports antiracist teaching and assessment research and practices in classrooms across disciplines in both secondary and postsecondary areas.[16] The endowment also founded a new conference, the Conference for Antiracist Teaching and Assessment, which held its first online convention in September and October of 2021.[17] Inoue has also donated all royalties for his book Above the Well (2021) to the endowment.[18]
