Stella Borg Barthet was awarded her PhD by the University of Malta for her thesis on Myth and History in the West African Novel in 1997. She is Senior Lecturer in the Department of English at the same university, where she teaches courses in postcolonial literature and theory, and in 18th and 19th century English and American fiction. She mediates the Department's membership in international associations and she is the Academic Coordinator for ERASMUS students.

Stella Borg Barthet convened the conference of the European Association for Commonwealth Literature and Language Studies (EACLALS) in March 2005 and was appointed adjudicator for the Commonwealth Writers' Prize later the same year.
