Did the popularity of the 2016 film, Hidden Figures make you wonder about other Black mathematicians in your community? This is your opportunity to learn more about the history of Black math students and professionals at The Ohio State University.
Nearly 200 mathematicians that identify as Black have earned degrees from the Department of Mathematics at OSU, yet their stories and legacies remain untold. You’ll find inspiration in their determination to achieve their goals and be amazed at their career paths after graduation.
Presented by Dr. Ranthony Edmonds, the leader of the Hidden Figures Revealed Project, the first comprehensive historical study of OSU Black mathematicians at a single US institution. She earned a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Iowa in 2018 and uses storytelling and hidden narratives in her work to increase public understanding of mathematics.
Sponsored by Ohio History Connection and the National Afro-American Museum & Cultural Center.
