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.

Congratulations, Tessa!

Congratulations, Tessa!

graduate student Tessa Jacobs

Congratulations to Tessa Jacobs, who was awarded the Patrick B. Mullen Graduate Prize for best graduate student paper for her essay, "Intertextual Storytelling within Family Narratives." Our panel of reviewers, made up of OSU folklore alumni, commented, "This paper takes an innovative approach to family folklore narratives, extending existing literature and taking it in a new direction. What this author has done can make us question - in a good way - what has come before. It adds a new dimension to family folklore by addressing all the complexities of family dynamics rather than a celebratory narrative, and asking: 'What does family folklore look like in an estranged family?'" Nice work, Tessa!
