Jeffrey H. Cohen (PhD. Anthropology, Indiana University 1994) has studied the impact, structure and outcome of migration from indigenous communities in Oaxaca, Mexico to the US with support from the National Science Foundation. His research focuses on migration, development and nutrition. Since the early 1990s he has also conducted comparative research on Mexican, Dominican and Turkish migration. His work on traditional foods, nutrition and migration was supported by the National Geographic Society. Among his works are The Culture of Migration in Southern Mexico (U Texas P, 2004) and Cooperation and Community: Economy and Society in Oaxaca (U Texas P, 1999). In addition to ongoing work in Oaxaca, he is currently studying the migration of Mexicans to Columbus.
