Eliran Arazi is a PhD researcher at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Advanced School in the Social Sciences (EHESS-Paris). He is currently also a research fellow at the Musée du quai Branly. Arazi's research focuses on the Andoque people of the Colombian Amazon, investigating power dynamics within their relationships with nonhuman beings and non-Indigenous agents.
