TISLIMA LILL-PROF. ĠORĠ MALLIA

L-aħbar tal-mewt tal-kollega u ħabib tagħna l-Prof. Ġorġ Mallia verament ħasditna. Din hija telfa kbira għalina, għall-Università ta' Malta, għal dawk kollha li għandhom għal qalbhom l-istudji universitarji u l-qasam kreattiv, u anki għal dawk li jaħdmu favur it-tisħiħ u l-iżvilupp tal-Malti.

Id-Dipartiment tagħna ħadem mill-qrib mal-Prof. Mallia. F'dawn l-aħħar snin kien qed jgħallem fil-kors taċ-Ċertifikat fil-Qari tal-Provi. Ftit tal-jiem ilu, id-Direttur tal-kors, il-Prof. George Farrugia, kien qed jiddiskuti miegħu l-lectures li kien se jgħallem fis-sena akkademika li jmiss.

Bħala Dekan tal-Fakultà tal-Midja u x-Xjenzi tal-Għarfien (MAKS), il-Prof. Mallia introduċa kors tal-Malti għall-istudenti tal-komunikazzjoni. Bħala president tal-bord editorjali tal-Malta University Press, ħadem magħna biex flimkien nippubblikaw aktar xogħol akkademiku bil-Malti.

Id-Dipartiment tal-Malti jirringrazzja lil Ġorġ tal-qalb kbira tiegħu u tax-xogħol li għamel matul il-karriera tiegħu bħala edukatur, artist u kittieb u jagħti l-għomor lill-familja tiegħu f'dan il-mument ta' niket.

F'isem id-Dipartiment tal-Malti, nixtieq nirringrazzja tal-ħidma lill-Prof. James Corby f'għeluq it-terminu tiegħu bħala Kap tad-Dipartiment tal-Ingliż fil-Fakultà tal-Arti.

Fl-istess ħin, nifraħ lill-Prof. Mario Aquilina tal-ħatra bħala l-kap il-ġdid. Konvint li din se tkun opportunità mill-aqwa mhux biss biex insaħħu l-ħbiberija kbira li hemm bejnietna imma biex inkomplu naħdmu flimkien ma' Dipartiment li minn dejjem kellna relazzjoni eċċellenti miegħu.

At the end of September, after twelve years in the role, I will be stepping down as Head of the Department of English.

It has been an immense privilege to lead the Department over these twelve years. During that time we have renewed and expanded our programmes, developed new areas of teaching and research, strengthened our international connections, and cultivated a lively intellectual and creative culture within and beyond the University. I am very proud of what the Department has achieved over that period, and grateful to have had the opportunity to help shape its development.

None of this would have been possible without the dedication, collegiality and good humour of my colleagues, academic and administrative, past and present. I am enormously grateful to all of them for the work we have done together and for the support they have given me throughout my time as Head.

I am delighted that Professor Mario Aquilina will succeed me. Mario brings considerable experience, judgement and commitment to the role, and I know that the Department will be in excellent hands under his leadership.

I also want to thank our students and alumni. Teaching is at the heart of what we do, and it has been a privilege to see generations of students develop as readers, thinkers and writers, and to follow the many different paths they have taken after leaving us. Their achievements remain one of the Department’s greatest sources of pride.

After twelve demanding but deeply rewarding years as Head, I will begin a two-year period of sabbatical leave, giving me the opportunity to concentrate more fully on research and writing. I look forward, in due course, to returning to the Department and contributing to the next chapter in its life.

— James Corby
