Description

QTMART is a workshop on algebra and representation theory taken in a broad sense, run by and for queer and trans mathematicians. It aims to showcase the research done in this field by this community and bring together senior researchers, junior researchers, and graduate students to discuss topics of common interest in a non-competitive environment.

Alongside the workshop, an exploratory program on queer mathematics and inclusion will take place. The activities of the program will focus on exploring what it means to do mathematics as a queer or trans mathematician, and if there is such a thing as queer mathematics. It will also address the question of how to make the working culture and environment more welcoming and diverse, and will aim to initiate concrete actions in this regard.

This workshop welcomes talks by early-career researchers. Please indicate on the application form if you would like to give a talk and on what topic.

The event is open to everyone accepting the community agreement (which will be based upon Oberwolfach's Statement of Respect and Collegiality https://www.mfo.de/about-the-institute/guiding-principles/equality-diversity-inclusion/statement-for-respect-and-collegiality, taking suggestions from the participants into account). However, priority in assigning talks will be given to self-identifying queer and trans mathematicians, and some activities in the program will be reserved for this group.

Plenary Speakers:

  • Chris Bowman (University of York)
  • Ian Musson (University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee)
  • J. Daisie Rock (FWO, KU Leuven, UGent)
  • Beth Romano (King's College London)
  • Dani Tubbenhauer (University of Sydney)
