Jeffrey H. Cohen

Jeffrey H. Cohen is an anthropologist whose work centers on migration, remittances, and acculturation, often studied through communities in Mexico and among refugee and immigrant groups in the United States, such as Bhutanese and South Asian populations. His research combines cultural anthropology approaches with public health topics like cardiometabolic risk, insomnia, and telomere length as they relate to acculturation and migration experience. He also writes on related cultural topics such as traditional food practices (e.g., entomophagy, or insect-eating) and craft economies in rural Oaxaca, Mexico.

Publication output has fluctuated over the last decade, peaking around 2021 with 10 papers, dipping in 2022-2023, then rising again in 2024, suggesting a somewhat variable but ongoing publication pace rather than a steady linear trend.
