Wikipedia description:

Godfrey Baldacchino (born 1960) is a Maltese and Canadian nissologist and social scientist. He is a professor of sociology at the University of Malta. Having spent twenty years studying astronomy, he later focused on small states. In 2016, he ran for rector of the University of Malta and lost to Alfred Vella, a chemistry professor and pro-rector. Afterwards, Vella appointed him pro-rector of International Development for five years. Baldacchino has written about and held official roles pertaining to several matters: cooperatives, education, economics, Maltese politics and the Maltese identity, and others. He supports a national Maltese metro along with a fixed link between Malta and Gozo, and has controversially suggested Malta buy Pantelleria. In 2022, journalist Arturo Chang described Baldacchino as a foremost island studies scholar.
