Malcolm Hunter

Malcolm and his wife, Jean, have spent sixty years learning about and living among nomadic peoples in East and West Africa, learning from them as much as serving among them. After twenty-five years of immersive fieldwork, they returned to Oxford to work on a PhD titled “Appropriate Development for Nomadic Pastoralists.” The research was a shared endeavor: Jean conducted in-depth interviews with women while Malcolm gathered responses from men, producing what examiners called a unique and invaluable social study. Though the degree was awarded in Malcolm’s name, their work reflects a lifetime partnership marked by courage, perseverance, and deep respect for nomadic communities.
