Lupenga Mphande's research focuses on African literature and culture, with particular attention to Malawian and Southern African poetry, indigenous aesthetic traditions, and questions of identity, gender, and sexuality in African contexts. The work draws on postcolonial and cultural literary studies as well as African history to examine how African writers and cultural forms express authenticity and social meaning. This is a humanities-oriented body of work suited to students interested in African literary and cultural studies.
Publication output has been sparse and irregular over the last decade, with several years showing no recorded output and a small uptick in 2025.
