Tanne conducts her DPhil in International Development at ODID. She interrogates human-animal labour relationships in changing political economies. Her interest lies at the intersection of multi-species work, commodification, and gender. For her doctoral thesis, she will conduct an ethnographic study in Kenya, primarily working with men and women who rely on donkeys for their daily livelihoods. She primarily engages with anthropological scholarship yet hopes to bridge this with her interdisciplinary background in governance, economics, and development studies.
