Robin’s primary area of research is early modern literature, with a focus on travel, cultural contact, and Anglo-Spanish connections. He is also engaged with environmental research and community engagement, and is interested in food activism, environmental justice, and relations between the human and nonhuman. In 2015, Robin taught a course on food justice to undergraduates at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, which used narrative non-fiction, podcasts, and online video to examine and reimagine the larger cultural forces that condition what and how we eat.
