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 therefore I love researching.. during my first summer as a scholar, I was concentred in  'Mapping colonial subjects from the French Resistance', in that period I had a cross cultural experience between France and the UK.

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.

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.

Beautiful to hear more about your journey Amber. Still delighted to have meet you coming all the way from Hong Kong in Leeds :). How small the world becomes during this journey with the scholarship
