Her weekly columns appeared for more than a decade, until 2003, in newspapers across the country, and she has hosted television and radio programs and appeared as a commentator on major TV networks. Malveaux is also the editor of several groundbreaking books on women, race and the state of the country. Malveaux has served on the faculty or visiting faculty of the New School for Social Research, San Francisco State University, the University of California-Berkley, College of Notre Dame, Michigan State University, and Howard University.
