Erell Taranne is a graduate student at the department of Geography and Territories at the Ecole Normale Supérieure of Paris (ENS). She has a master’s degree in social and political sciences from the School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences of Paris. Her master’s thesis, called The Geography of Instagram Activism: When Minorities take over a Space of Intimate Exhibition for the Community, focused on intersectional feminism on Instagram social media. In her current research, she is questioning the link between the geographies of offline and online activism, and in particular whether social media makes it possible to overcome the centralization logics of offline geography. She taught French literature, Geography and History in French high schools through the ENS Program. She was also a tutor and exam teacher for preparatory class students in Literature, Geography and Geopolitics. As an exchange Lecturer at the University of Chicago for 2023-24, she teaches French and French Literature.
