LGBTQ+Math Day
Description
November 18 is LGBTQ+ STEM Day, the international day that showcases and celebrates the work and lives of LGBTQ+ people in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). This workshop will include talks and a panel discussion, and will be held on-line. LGBTQ+Math Day at Fields will once again provide a welcoming and positive on-line setting for attendees and the speakers. The event is aimed at LGBTQ+ mathematicians, LGBTQ+ students and post-docs in the mathematical sciences and their allies.
Our emphasis will be on showcasing state-of-the-art mathematics conducted by LGBTQ+ mathematicians, presented in an accessible way to non-specialists. Speakers will also describe their journey navigating their academic careers as a member of the LGBTQ+ community. LGBTQ+ mathematicians are now gaining acceptance and visibility in the mathematics community and the broader STEM culture. We hope that this event will have a continued, powerful impact by showcasing prominent LGBTQ+ mathematicians' work, especially for the next generation. Participants will come away inspired and learn strategies for building meaningful allyships with members of the LGBTQ+ community in mathematics.
