Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

Each faculty member, staff member and graduate student has a profile page (People page) in the Sociology Department Directory. 

If you need to add a photo or change your profile:

  • If you would like to have a profile photo on your People page, upload your photo to Opic. That image will automatically populate on your People page.
  • Email Jamie Fowle with any changes you'd like to make to your profile.
  • If your role in the department changes (e.g., you were a GTA and are now Associated Faculty), please check your profile page for errors and outdated information and send updates to fowle.20@osu.edu.
