Monique Layton was educated in Morocco, France, England, and Canada. At university, she studied Romance Studies, Comparative Literature, and Cultural Anthropology. After receiving her Ph.D. from the University of British Columbia (1978), she worked at the Universities Council of British Columbia and Simon Fraser University. While at SFU, she conducted research projects in Cuba and the Seychelles.
