What have we learned from five years of researching everyday humanitarianism in Tanzania—and what’s next?

In this final episode, we reflect on the journey of EHTZ. From key insights and turning points to the evolving landscape of humanitarian research, we explore what the project achieved, what surprised us along the way, and what lies ahead for both scholarship and practice in Tanzania.

To discuss this, our host Alex Maxelon is joined by:

• Prof. Lisa Ann Richey, Principal Investigator of EHTZ and Professor of Globalization at Copenhagen Business School (CBS), whose interdisciplinary work has shaped the study of humanitarianism, aid branding, and North–South relations.
• Prof. Herbert Hambati, Associate Professor of Human Geography at the University of Dar es Salaam (UDSM) and South Coordinator of the project, with research expertise in disaster management, environmental planning, and local resilience.

This podcast is part of the Everyday Humanitarianism in Tanzania (EHTZ) research project—a collaboration between universities in Denmark and Tanzania. Funded by Danida and led by Professor Lisa Ann Richey, the project explores how ordinary people engage in humanitarian action. Learn more at everydayhumanitarianismintanzania.org.
