Leticia Anderson is a PhD candidate at the Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies, University of Sydney.

She received a number of prestigious accolades for her undergraduate work, most notably the University Medal for her honours thesis, Subjected Muslims of the Latin Mediterranean, 1060-1300, and was awarded her Bachelor of Arts (Hons I) in 2005.
