His main areas of interest include urban anthropology, development studies, the environment, and media and technology. Much of his anthropological fieldwork was carried in Varanasi where he focused on the ritual economy of the river and questions of caste and identity politics in India. The study was published in the book, Life on the Ganga (Cambridge, 2013). Doron’s collaboration with Robin Jeffrey led to a book on the mobile phone revolution in India titled The Great Indian Phone Book (Harvard University Press/C Hurst, 2013), published in India under the title Cellphone Nation: how the mass mobile changes business, politics and daily life. Doron and Jeffrey are currently completing a book on Waste of a Nation: Garbage and Growth in India (Harvard University Press, forthcoming 2018).
