Karin Knorr Cetina
Otto Borchert Distinguished Service Professor (jointly appointed between Sociology and Anthropology)

Professor Knorr Cetina is interested in financial markets, knowledge and information, as well as in globalization, theory and culture and continues to do research on the information architecture of financial markets, on their "global microstructures" (the global social and cultural form these markets take) and on trader markets in contrast to producer markets. She also studies globalization from a microsociological perspective, using an ethnographic approach, and she continues to be interested in "laboratory studies," the study of science, technology and information at the site of knowledge production - particularly in the life sciences and in particle physics.
