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.

Sara Watson studies the comparative politics of the welfare state from both a macro-historical and micro-level perspective.  Her research explores topics ranging from the effects of a divided left on the nature of welfare capitalist development, to the relationship between rising divorce rates and the political gender gap, and the consequences of welfare conditionality on patterns of democratic engagement.
