Josephine Adams, Research Executive – London
Josephine studied German and Italian at Oxford University. After that, she studied some more, this time in Anthropology. She really got into research through two months of ethnography with the indigenous Garifuna, where she studied how migration is affecting their music, language and religion. Luckily, the Garifuna happen to live on the Caribbean coast of Central America, so she got a pretty good suntan out of it too. Before joining Flamingo, Josephine dabbled in a few NGO positions, including social research for Barnardo’s. When she’s not travelling or researching, you might find her standing on her head in an uncomfortable-looking yoga pose, or trying, with moderate success, to cook Lebanese food for her friends. Being half German, Josephine speaks fluent German, pretty good Italian and Spanish, and enough French to justify having a French name. She’s glad that her job at Flamingo lets her carry on researching – without the discomfort of the anthropologist’s tent.
