About Robin Steiner

I am a political and economic anthropologist whose research has primarily focused on cultural economy, globalization, development, work, and citizenship in the Arab Gulf, and specifically Oman. I received my doctorate in sociocultural anthropology from the University of Arizona in January 2018 and I am currently an adjunct faculty member at the Department of Global and Sociocultural Studies at Florida International University in Miami, FL. Additionally, my research and teaching interests also include religion and secularism; Islam; sensory perception; phenomenology; social memory; branding; business anthropology; and neoliberalism.
