Her academic journey includes studies at UCL, the University of Edinburgh, and the University of Cambridge. Dr. Malkin specializes in 20th and 21st century American literature, with a focus on post-1945 novels, intellectual history, modernist legacies, and the intersection of philosophy with literature, film, and art. Her work interrogates themes of the everyday, the ordinary, and experiential frameworks in cultural production.
Her research interests span American romanticism and its afterlives, philosophical engagements with literary form, and the conceptual underpinnings of critical practice. Notable areas include Stanley Cavell’s influence on literary and film studies, and the transhistorical dialogues between modernist and contemporary writing. Recent publications explore Cavell’s critical afterlives, pluralism in poetic interpretation, and Wallace Stevens' legacy.
Malkin’s scholarship bridges literary analysis with philosophical inquiry, often examining how texts negotiate public and private spheres. Though no awards are explicitly listed, her academic output reflects sustained engagement with foundational American thinkers and literary traditions.
