Robin Rodd teaches anthropology at Duke Kunshan University. His research interests include the performance of memory and democratic citizenship in Latin America, the geopolitics of food, eco-socialism and other alternatives to capitalist exploitation, and Amazonian shamanism. His doctoral research involved long-term fieldwork with Huottüja (Piaroa) communities in Venezuela where he studied the relationship of yopo snuff (Anadenanthera peregrina) use to indigenous theories of knowledge, power, and health. He is currently researching the soy supply chain across its arc from beans grown in Argentina to intensive pig farming in China.
