Diversity in Math Movie Series - Hidden Figures
Register Here
Once a month, join us for a virtual discussion around a film depicting the lives of prominent mathematicians from underrepresented groups and learn about their passions and struggles. Watch the film at home and connect for a panel where we will talk about the math and the people and how this relates to each one of us in the current times.
Based on the book of the same name, Hidden Figures tells the story of a team of female African-American mathematicians who served a vital role in NASA during the early years of the U.S. space program.
Our amazing Panelists:
Sharon McDougle - NASA Crew Escape Equipment Manager & Crew Chief
Dr. Ranthony A.C. Edmonds - Ross Assistant Professor, OSU Department of Mathematics
Dr. John Johnson Jr. - Assistant Professor/Academic Program Coordinator, OSU Department of Mathematics
Kayla Watson - Aerospace Engineer Brooke Owens Fellowship Executive Leader
Khristian Jones - Co-founder of the Patti Grace Smith Fellowship
Due to copyright restrictions in a virtual setting, we are not able to stream the film publicly. We ask that you please watch the movie on your own before the event. It is available for rent on several streaming platforms. We have a few Amazon gift cards covering the rent fee available for groups who are able to watch the film together, such as schools or math clubs. If you are interested in this option, please fill out the form below.
This session will be hosted in partnership with the Department of Astronomy Monthly Movie Night.
