About Cothney Theresa Lasaracina
Welcome!! You can call me either Cothney or Theresa. I came back from my study abroad experience at the 'Université de Lille' in France. I will graduate this July, 2026 at the University of Leeds.
I am deeply curious. I love researching.. during my first summer as a scholar I concentred on 'Mapping colonial subjects from the French Resistance'. I had cross cultural experiences between France and the UK while doing my research.
For my LIA, I have partnered with 'Star Top Community School', to teach in Lusaka, Zambia; today I am their LIA Champion. Ask me more if you would like to.

My name is Cothney Lasaracina. Very nice to meet you everyone.
I am from Italy and I study politics and French at the University of Leeds. My Laidlaw research/leadership project is about Mapping colonial subjects in the French Resistance. I found it very fascinating and encouraging for my personal development, in order to strenght communities and enable a critical exchange through the visualisation of the impact that colonial subjects have had within the French Resistance. In my free time, I like to keep active through engaging in sportive activities i.e Basketball, gym and learning languages.
One thing about me that surprises people is my dynamicity.
I'd love to connect with someone who shares enthusiasm, and passion. It could be in any field. I am ready to hear from you :)

A lively cohort, such a pleasure to be around them during the day :)
I practiced the concept of´´You have to be comfortable while being uncomfortable’ certainly during my LIA. It lead me to experience consistent growth moving forward 😊. I can’t recommend it enough
👏🏼!
I did not know about Mary Parker Follett before, look forward to read more on her now! This notion is very powerful and relevant, I loved seeing it applied during my LIA period and later on beyond that experience too.
Happy international Women's day- it is never too late to celebrate it :) I am deeply in awe for everything I read, and I am grateful to be surrounded by a community filled with brilliant women. Great to read about their curiosities which have shaped research today!
One of the thing that I am doing which is not receiving recognition yet, it's my dissertation. I have been postponing it but I have enough time to work on it. I could strengthen embracing stress and pressure, both are beneficial if they are seen from the right angle.
Great take, thank you Susanna :)
Wow! An incredible journey, that had great pleasure to reread, under your perspective. So glad we came this far through this project :). So glad that you made the children discover new things, through the library.
