Her current project examines literary traditions and health narratives in Malawi and its border countries. She is also collaborating with the Art and Global Health Centre Africa, a Zomba-based NGO, and the University of Malawi, with whom she is collaborating with to launch the Malawi Medical Humanities Network (<a href="https://malawi-medhums.sps.ed.ac.uk/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/\&quot;http:\/\/www.malawimedhumsnetwork.com\&quot;">www.malawimedhumsnetwork.com<\/a>). This is set to be the first official medical humanities network for Malawiana studies. She was most recently a postdoctoral fellow at the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities (IASH) at the University of Edinburgh. Her PhD was completed at King\u2019s College London (2014) and offered a comparative study of Malawian and American AIDS fiction. Her research interests are disease (esp. sexuality transmitted infections), biomedicine, traditional healing and witchcraft in African writing and narratives.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div  class='hr hr-default '><span class='hr-inner ' ><span class='hr-inner-style'><\/span><\/span><\/div><\/p>\n<div class=\"flex_column av_one_third  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding first  \" style='border-radius:0px; '><div class='avia-image-container  av-styling-circle   avia-align-center '  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"  ><div class='avia-image-container-inner'><img class='avia_image ' src='https:\/\/malawi-medhums.sps.ed.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/muti_michael_etter-phoya_kalinga-300x300.jpg' alt='' title='muti_michael_etter-phoya_kalinga'   itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"flex_column av_two_third  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding   \" style='border-radius:0px; '><section class=\"av_textblock_section\"  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock '   itemprop=\"text\" ><p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Michael Muti Etter-Phoya<\/b> has been a part of Malawi and Africa\u2019s open landscape since 2005, when he started \u2018Portrait Malawi\u2019, a repository for curating Malawi\u2019s heritage.
