    Jeffrey Cohen: “I Can’t Do Work on Them if I Don’t Eat Them, Right?” The Scholarship of Eating Grasshoppers

    Some people look at a grasshopper and see an insect.  Anthropology professor Jeffrey Cohen sees a snack.  Cohen’s research spans migration, development, and nutrition, interests that have taken him from Project Panchavati, which addressed the digital divide in the Bhutanese community in Central Ohio during the pandemic, to his new book Eating Grasshoppers, which explores the cultural and economic significance of grasshopper consumption in Oaxaca, Mexico. Cohen describes the process and benefits of entomophagy (insect eating) and its potential role in human diets, despite the “yuck factor,” which host David Staley overcomes to enjoy the chapulines offered during the interview.  VoE – Jeffery Cohen 10.14.2023_podcast_ The Scholarly side of Eating GrasshoppersDownload
