Several current and former Cotsen Institute affiliates were part of a group to publish an article in Current Anthropology that has been cited by the American Association for the Advancement of Science and Phys.org. Among the co-authors are Hans Barnard and Brian Damiata, both of whom are associate researchers at the Cotsen Institute; Alan Farahani, former postdoctoral fellow at the Cotsen Institute; and Brett Kaufman, who graduated from the institute in 2014 and now is assistant professor in classics at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Also among the co-authors is Rayed Khedher, who received his PhD in anthropology from UCLA and is currently visiting assistant professor in the Arabic Language Program at Wake Forest University.
