| Abstract: | Over the years, the contribution and overall interest of resident academics to serve in parliament has been scarce in Malta. This paper aims to explore the possible reasons for this, and highlights overlooked contributions that academia can give to parliamentary work. The role of the backbencher is highlighted and discussed in the midst of the work carried out at the University of Malta. This paper also aims to instigate a discussion on the way forward with regard to our direct contribution to what happens in parliament which is where decisions affecting our own lives are taken. |
