Anita Lateano is a mixed race, female, early career researcher. Born in Birmingham, UK, Anita identifies as mixed race with heritage that spans both Asia and Latin America. With a professional background within the environmental and charity sector which included work in South Africa and Tanzania, this led her back to academia, with a desire to reflect on those experiences, the role of INGOs in the perpetuation of colonial narratives, and to critically understand climate and environmental injustices. She joined BBS after gaining an MA in Social Anthropology from SOAS and this is Anita’s first position within Higher Education, allowing her to hold an “outsider” perspective within both the Business School and academia. Alongside working on the Decolonisation Project, she is currently a PhD student at the University of Westminster.
