Aaron Neiman, PhD

I am a cultural anthropologist with expertise in qualitative health research. My work focuses on new mental health treatments, particularly novel drug therapies (e.g. psychedelics) and computer therapies (e.g. AI chat-bots). In addition to my own writing, I am passionate about helping individuals and organizations bring sophisticated, rigorous, and provocative writing to both popular and academic audiences.

My skills include literature review, cultural competence/analysis, social theory, undergraduate and graduate teaching/advising, grant writing, lecturing, research design, interpretive social sciences, qualitative research, ethnography, participant-observation, interviews, archival research, transcription and thematic coding, copy editing, and citations & bibliography.

Prior to my current appointment as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Washington University in St. Louis, I lectured in the school's Department of Anthropology. I received my PhD in Anthropology from Stanford University in 2023.
