Biography

Arnaud Kaba is a social anthropologist who works on Indian labour relations. His master’s thesis was analysing the semi-paternalistic management system of a Darjeeling Fair Trade plantation. His Ph.D. thesis, completed at the EHESS under the supervision of D. G. Heuzé was looking at the confrontation to uncertainty amongst Bhopal’s metal workers. After a short-time DAAD fellowship at CeMIS, Göttingen, he is an ICAS:MP postdoc fellow to complete his anthropological history project on Firozabad’s glass workers.
He has been collaborating with the CSH since 2009. As a visiting Masters and then PhD student. His new project is looking at the techniques and material cultures of Firozabad’s glass workers and is showing how the relationship to the working process is shaping labour identities and the local cultures at the neighbourhood’s scale.
