St Hilda’s is delighted to announce the appointment of Dr Malachi McIntosh as an Associate Professor in World Literatures in English and our new Barbara Pym Tutorial Fellow in English. Dr McIntosh’s research area is Caribbean and Black British writing, in particular writing produced in the 1950s-1980s. He is also interested in inter- and post-world-war-era writing from the French Caribbean, and broader diaspora, world literature, and postcolonial literary studies. At St Hilda’s, he will teach Prelims papers 3, ‘Literature in English 1830-1910’, Prelims paper 4, ‘Literature in English 1910-Present’, and related FHS option papers. 

Prior to joining St Hilda’s, Malachi was the Editor and Publishing Director of Wasafiri, the magazine of international contemporary writing. He has also co-led the Runnymede Trust’s award-winning Our Migration Story history education project; lectured at the University of Warwick, the University of Cambridge, and Goldsmiths, University of London; and worked for Teach First — initially as an English teacher in a South Croydon high school.
