"At this point what we really are encouraging is for the Turpin site to be a community archaeology project. So, we’re involving the descendants of the Turpin family. We’ve met several of them already and they are extremely interested in the project and participating. In that sense, it’s kind of like an ancestry project that goes into the ground. So, it’s not just talking to older people in your family and piecing together your genealogy but actually going back to the material left behind and understanding that through their eyes."
-Professor Robert Cook, Anthropology, Faculty Oversight Committee Member of the Newark Earthworks Center.
General Education (GE) Program
In autumn 2022, Ohio State will launch a new General Education (GE) program that reduces the number of required GE credit hours, provides undergraduate students more flexibility in scheduling, streamlines time to degree, and better prepares them for the opportunities and challenges of the 21st century. It is the first major overhaul of the GE curriculum in more than 30 years.

Location: 180 Cunz Hall
This interdisciplinary course envisions the possibility of a responsible data science by studying the colonial and capitalist legacies of data analytics and its methodologies. What makes data science global? How is data pervasive?
Explore the how and the why of the injustices enabled by data and AI and the infrastructures and human relations that sustain data science. Drawing on science and technology studies, geography, political science, anthropology and the history of science, we’ll study how data is used in education, land, geology, finance and health. It opens up narratives, histories, contexts and possibilities of a different kind of data.
Students of diverse backgrounds will read, engage with the readings and be in dialogue with their peers, and work on hands-on activities that will help them think critically about data practices. Regardless of our aspirations, we live in a world that is increasingly mediated by algorithmic, big data and associated technologies. “Race, Colonialism, and Data” offers students the opportunity to think critically about this complex reality and reflect on how to dismantle unjust data practices to imagine and organize better and livable futures.
The course will be taught by Dr. Harshavardhan Bhat, postdoctoral fellow at the Translational Data Analytics Institute and affiliate for the Center for Ethnic Studies.
For more information on this course, contact Dr. Bhat at bhat.115@osu.edu.
