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.

Background

Nina Wolf is an Akron, Ohio native currently pursuing a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Design at The Ohio State University (OSU). Prior to graduate school, Nina completed her undergraduate studies at Pratt Institute, where she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Communications Design and a Minor in Sustainability Studies. Upon graduating, Nina plans to apply her expertise as a design researcher or user experience researcher.
 
During the academic year, Nina works both as a Graduate Research Associate (GRA) in the College of Public Health's LGBTQ+ Practice & Science Health Equity Lab and as a Graduate Teaching Associate (GTA) for first-year Foundations students in the Department of Design. Her thesis research examines the use of codesign, discursive design, and speculative design (formalized as discursive codesign) as problem-framing methods in intervention development. In particular, she is exploring the use of discursive codesign to foster more culturally relevant and innovative ways of framing public health problems that lead to interventions capable of disrupting norms upholding health disparities, to advance health equity.
