Team

In developing OSAGE, the Center on Religion and the Global East has relied on numerous people. Some have helped in collecting and cleaning data, others in technical issues and the mapping of the data, and still others in the design of the platform and website. We have pooled support from students in many disciplines and have received contributions of data and technical advice from scholars outside of Purdue. Here, we list those who have made significant contributions to the development of OSAGE.
