Upcoming Video on the National Insect Initiative: Professor Michael Spagnol

The Foundation is presently developing an educational video clip about the Maltese Honey Bee within the context of the National Insect Initiative. Before the video’s release, we will introduce the crew and protagonists featured in it.

Professor Michael Spagnol is a prominent researcher in Maltese language and culture. He studied Maltese and Linguistics at the University of Malta, earned his PhD in Linguistics at the University of Konstanz, Germany, and completed a post-doc at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig. Specialising in morphology, lexicography, and dialectology, he has contributed to various research projects on terminology, dialects, and oral traditions. From 2019 to 2023, he was the Head of the Department of Maltese at the University of Malta and holds editorial positions in key publications and committees in his field. He also runs Kelma Kelma, connecting the Maltese people with their language through linguistic curiosities! Having contributed to the script of this project, Prof. Michael Spagnol will also serve as our Maltese narrator!
