SUMMARY:Talk\, Categories and Companions Symposium
DESCRIPTION:from the host website: \nAbout\nCategory theory is a branch of mathematics which seeks to understand abstract mathematical structures and the relationships between them. Originating in investigations of connections between algebra and topology\, category theory has broad applications across various branches of pure mathematics\, as well as logic\, computer science\, linguistics and physics. \nCategories and Companions Symposium 2021 (CaCS2021) is an event for research students (Honours/Masters/PhD) in category theory and related disciplines from around the world to meet each other and share their work. Everyone is welcome to attend the event. Each day will feature a 50 minute talk by an invited speaker and a series of 20 minute contributed talks by research students\, split across two sessions — the first aimed at Australasian and American time zones and the second at Australasian\, African and European time zones. Attendees will also have the opportunity to meet and talk to each other in smaller groups at various times throughout the symposium. \nRegistration is now open (for both research students and the wider community) via the linked Google Form. When registering\, all research students (Honours/Masters/PhD) are invited to propose a title and abstract for a 20 minute talk in category theory or category theory adjacent topics. Talks about work in progress\, and talks by those who usually have fewer opportunities to present internationally\, are very welcome and especially encouraged. Upon submitting the registration form\, a link titled Edit your response will be presented; talk proposals may be edited using this link up until the registration deadline for speakers. The registration deadline for speakers is Friday\, May 7\, 2021 23:59:59 Anywhere on Earth. The registration deadline for non-speaking attendees is Friday\, June 4\, 2021 23:59:59 Anywhere on Earth.

SUMMARY:talk\, The PTI
DESCRIPTION:from the host site: \nStrengthen your understanding with this online CPD course for Maths teachers. \nThe question of why women and minorities are under-represented in mathematics is complex and there are no simple answers\, only many contributing factors. Eugenia will draw on a combination of precise mathematical reasoning\, techniques of abstract mathematical thinking\, and her experiences as a woman in the male-dominated field of mathematics. Eugenia will argue that if we focus character traits rather than gender we can have a more productive and less divisive conversation\, about math and beyond. She will present a new theory for doing so\, showing that we can use abstract mathematical thinking to work towards a more inclusive society in this politically divisive era. \nEugenia will present the abstract field of Category Theory as a particularly inclusive subject area according to the dimensions of my her theory\, and demonstrate its scope for deepening the curiosity and social awareness of secondary school students\, rather than just pushing and evaluating them. This goes against the assumption that abstract mathematics can only be taught to high level undergraduates and graduate students\, and the accusation that abstract mathematics is removed from real life.
