Anthropologist.
Ethnographer.
Robin Steiner is an anthropologist interested by the interpersonal, social, and technological processes underlying economic life. His research has explored the socio-technical work involved in the production of experientially consistent brands in the US craft brewing industry, the role of a traditional public oven in Morocco in the domestic life of a neighborhood, and most recently, how state-guided investments in Oman’s citizen workforce produce a system of distributive rights that relies on the discourses and practices of economic development.
Education and Experience
Robin earned his Ph.D. in Sociocultural Anthropology from the University of Arizona in 2018. Additionally, he holds an M.A. in Sociocultural Anthropology from the University of Arizona (2009) and a B.A. in Middle Eastern Studies from Brown University (2005). Robin’s work has been published in peer-reviewed academic journals, such as Anthropological Quarterly and Economic Anthropology.
Professional Objectives
Robin is based in Miami, FL. After several years in academia, Robin is looking for opportunities to apply his ethnographic and qualitative research skills to the challenges facing businesses and non-governmental organizations. He is available to work remotely or in-person in the Miami area and is particularly interested in gaining experience in marketing, UX research, and organizational ethnography.
