Caroline Chapain is Associate Professor in Management at Birmingham Business School. Born of French nationality, Caroline has studied, worked and lived in France (20 years), Canada (10 years) and the UK (20 years). In addition, she did her Ph.D. in Mexico. This cross-cultural experience made her reflect on the notion of identities and cultural practices as well as issues related to the production of knowledge. While her career initially focused on questions related to creativity and economic development in North America and Europe, she has progressively shifted her interests towards the practice of responsible management and education and issues related to equity, diversity and belonging in business schools. She brings these personal and professional identities and perspectives to her understanding and practice of decolonising work.
