Malini received her PhD from the University of Warwick, in the department of Film and Television Studies in 2009.  Her research interests involve theorizing the relationship between space, the cinema and the city as well as investigating the subject of cinema and migration, with a particular emphasis on postcolonial and post-imperial modes of mobility, displacement and settlement.  Prior to coming to Carleton, Malini has taught film studies courses at the University of Toronto and OCAD University.

She has published various pieces on films that chart the history of Caribbean migration and settlement in post-imperial London that can be found in recent editions of the Journal of British Cinema and Television as well as Visual Culture in Britain.  She is currently embarking on a new research project on Kolkata in the cinema. She is also working on the completion of a book manuscript on cinematic Paris and London as migrant cities that is forthcoming with Edinburgh University Press.
