UManitoba Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) Symposium

The UManitoba student chapter of the Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) will be hosting a symposium on November 16, 2023. This hybrid symposium will take place in Armes 205 at the University of Manitoba Fort Garry campus in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

This symposium aims to celebrate and connect women, gender-diverse folx and allies from a wide range of mathematical disciplines. The program will include a plenary talk from Dr. Karen Meagher, a mathematics professor from the University of Regina and the current chair of the Canadian Mathematical Society Women in Mathematics Committee. To learn more about Dr. Meagher, please see below.

We will also be featuring regular talks (20-minutes), lightning talks (10-minutes), poster presentations, as well as a panel discussion.

We are currently accepting submissions for talks and posters. Talks can either be virtual or in-person; however, priority will be given to in-person speakers. For posters, we only accept in-person presentations. We welcome talks on mathematical research, EDI initiatives, and their intersection. To register or submit an abstract for a talk/poster, please use this online form. We encourage postdocs, graduate students, and undergrad students to submit abstracts. The deadline for registration is October 31, 2023, but if you would like to be considered for a talk or a poster presentation, then the deadline is October 15, 2023.
