SUMMARY:Talk at the London School of Economics and Political Science
DESCRIPTION:X+Y: A Mathematician’s Manifesto for Rethinking Gender\nThe question of why women and minorities are under-represented in mathematics is complex and there are no simple answers\, only many contributing factors. Dr Cheng will draw on a combination of precise mathematical reasoning\, techniques of abstract mathematical thinking\, and my experiences as a woman in the male-dominated field of mathematics. \nDr Cheng will argue that if we focus on 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. \n  \nNote that there will be no book sales at this event\, but if you bring copies of any of Dr Cheng’s books she will be happy to sign them.

SUMMARY:Talk at JMM Boston\, Applied Category Theory session
DESCRIPTION:Privilege structures: from posets to generalised metric spaces \nSheraton Boston\, Republic A \nI will use posets to illuminate privilege structures in society and the divisive arguments surrounding them\, including straw person arguments about what privilege means\, and where antagonism arises from functions between posets that are not order-preserving. I will then use Lawvere’s generalised metric spaces to add more nuance to this analysis so that we can consider different weightings for different types of privilege. Lawvere’s generalised metric spaces can be expressed as categories enriched in with as the monoidal structure. Crucially\, the distance function is then not required to be symmetric\, and this is critical in an analysis of privilege as it is not just the difference in privilege that we seek to measure\, but whether it’s a loss or gain.

SUMMARY:JMM Boston: panel event "Reaching the public"
DESCRIPTION:Reaching the Public: Why\, Where\, and How to Tell Math Stories in Newspapers and Popular Books \nSheraton Boston\, Fairfax A \nGuest on panel chaired by Susan D’Agostino \nwith Daniel Taber \nAs a faculty member\, you regularly share your knowledge of and passion for math with students. But has your voice and expertise reached those beyond your classroom? In this time of science denialism\, publishing math stories in newspapers\, magazines\, and books aimed at the general public is a rewarding pursuit that builds your personal platform while enhancing public math literacy. News and magazine editors are eager to hear from mathematicians\, but they need you to reach out to them. Likewise\, book editors are also eager to hear from mathematicians\, but they often want to see that you have first published stories in public-facing newspapers and magazines. Come listen to honest tales of what works and what doesn’t from a mathematics book editor at Oxford University Press and a mathematician-turned-journalist who has published math and science stories in The Atlantic\, The Washington Post\, Scientific American\, Wired\, Quanta Magazine\, National Public Radio\, and BBC Science Focus. Get inspired and leave with ideas for how you might take your first—and later—steps pursuing a side gig as a public math intellectual.

SUMMARY:AMS Erdős Memorial Lecture (Joint Mathematics Meetings\, Boston)
DESCRIPTION:Joint Mathematics Meetings\, Boston \nBallroom AB\, Hynes Convention Center \nAssociativity\, Commutativity and Units: a Higher-dimensional ballet \nAssociativity\, commutativity and unit laws are axioms we typically learn about early on\, in the context of numbers. We might then take them for granted until we meet non-commutative situations\, such as multiplication of matrices\, or symmetry groups. In higher dimensions we start to encounter non-associativity and non-unitality as well\, but there is more nuance: rather than associativity simply being true or not true\, there are shades of grey\, where associativity holds up to isomorphism\, equivalence\, or just some sort of map. In this talk I will describe how those familiar three families of axioms become the essence of all the interesting features of weak higher-dimensional category theory. Moreover\, rather than being three different types of axioms they are inextricably related via a higher-dimensional version of distributivity. The ballet they present is one of ebb and flow\, give and take\, where rigidity for one “dancer” always needs to be offset by flexibility in another. I will show that the apparently mundane maths of high school has deep category theoretical insights embedded in it\, if we care to look. I will not assume any prior knowledge of category theory.

SUMMARY:Talk\, "The Square Root of 2 and the Devil in Music" - Caltech Y
DESCRIPTION:from event website: \nTime & Location\n\n\nOct 19\, 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM \nAthenaeum\, 551 S Hill Ave\, Pasadena\, CA 91106\, USA \n\n\n\nAbout The Event\n\n\n\nNo Host Bar 6:00 pm \nDinner 7:00 pm \nSpeaker 8:00 pm \n  \nPlease RSVP by October 10th\, 2022 \nSpace is limited. \n  \nPer Caltech policy\, all guests are required to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination for entry. \nPlease bring vaccination documentation with you to the event. \n— \nThe square root of 2 is one of the great conundrums of mathematics.  So easy to describe but so difficult to pin down! What actually is it?  The devil in music or “diabolo in musica” is the tritone\, and it acquired this nickname because it is the most dissonant of all intervals. With demonstrations on the piano and violin\, Dr.  Cheng will weave these two stories together. We will see how a mathematical understanding of irrational numbers leads to the well-tempered tuning system that inspired Bach to write preludes and fugues in every key (twice) and how the square root of two gives rise to the devil in music. \n  \nDr. Eugenia Cheng is a mathematician\, concert pianist\, and Scientist in Residence at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Alongside  her research in Category Theory and undergraduate teaching\, her aim is  to rid the world of “math phobia.” She was an early pioneer of math on YouTube\, and her book\, How to Bake Pi was featured on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Her latest book\, X + Y: A  Mathematician’s Manifesto for Rethinking Gender was released in 2020. \n  \nFriends dinners are unique evenings where the Caltech and Pasadena communities come together to engage with world-renowned scientific\,  humanitarian\, and civic leaders. You are receiving this event because you are a Friend of the Caltech Y or a Friend is inviting you. Friends dinners are not fundraising events. Our ticket price covers our cost for the evening.

SUMMARY:Talk\, New Scientist Live - London
DESCRIPTION:from the host website: \n\nThe joy of abstraction\n Universe Stage\n\n\nMaths isn’t just about numbers\, equations\, and getting the right answer. In this talk\, based on her new book\, Eugenia Cheng will show how even high-level abstract maths can be accessible\, open-ended\, and joyful. She will introduce category theory\, (abstract mathematics typically only seen by advanced maths students) which she has been teaching to art students for several years. Eugenia brings abstract mathematical ideas down to earth using examples of social justice\, current events\, and everyday life; and will argue that “abstract” doesn’t mean “irrelevant”\, but rather\, that abstract thinking can help us understand urgent issues in the world around us. Abstract also doesn’t have to mean “difficult”: the only prerequisites are curiosity and an open mind about what maths really is.

SUMMARY:Talk\, Closing Session at NCTM - Los Angeles
DESCRIPTION:NCTM Annual Meeting and Exposition\nOne Mathematics\, Many Voices:\nSharing Our Collective Stories of Rehumanizing\nMathematics Teaching and Learning\n\n\n\nClosing Session: The Art of Logic in an Illogical World\nSaturday\, October 1\, 2022\n12:30 – 1:30 PM PT \nFor thousands of years\, mathematicians have used the timeless art of logic to see the world more clearly. I will show how mathematics can help us address the divisive arguments all around us today. Taking a careful scalpel to politics\, privilege\, sexism and other real-world situations\, I will show how math can help us find clarity without losing nuance. \nSpeaker: Eugenia Cheng\, PhD\, School of the Art Institute of Chicago\, Illinois

SUMMARY:Talk & Concert\, Cheltenham Science Festival "Maths\, Music\, and “A Woman’s Life and Love”
DESCRIPTION:https://www.cheltenhamfestivals.com/science/whats-on/2022/maths-music-and-a-womans-life-and-love \nAbout this Event\n\nMathematician Eugenia Cheng examines women in maths and maths in music through a unique combination of lecture and concert. With soprano Sarah Gabriel she’ll perform her reworked version of Schumann’s song cycle “A Woman’s Life and Love” – with a modern feminist twist. Instead of fading away when her husband dies\, our heroine instead sings about ambition\, imposter syndrome\, bullying and forging a new path\, leaving the old systems behind. Eugenia describes her own unusual career as a mathematician and concert pianist and how the process of writing the piece expanded the themes beyond feminism\, to inclusivity in general.

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.

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\, Keynote Speaker - OAME Virtual Conference
DESCRIPTION:Inclusion-exclusion in mathematics: who stays in\, who falls out\, why it happens\, and what we could do about it. \nThe question of why women and minorities are under-represented in mathematics is complex and there are no simple answers\, only many contributing factors. I will focus on character traits\, and argue that if we focus on this rather than gender we can have a more productive and less divisive conversation. To try and focus on characters rather than genders I will introduce gender-neutral character adjectives\, “ingressive” and “congressive”\, as a new dimension to shift our focus away from masculine and feminine. I will share my experience of teaching congressive abstract mathematics to art students\, in a congressive way\, and the possible effects this could have for everyone in mathematics\, not just women.

SUMMARY:Talk\, Charleston Festival (Available until May 16th)
DESCRIPTION:from host website \n(Available until May 16th) \nWhen you look at the hard facts and figures\, economics is gendered\, exclusionary and unequal. \nTogether with our host\, award-winning journalist Anita Anand\, join international best-selling writer and mathematician Eugenia Cheng and ‘Prospect Magazine’ Top 25 Global Thinker Linda Scott for a talk which challenges and interrogates the root of these systemic inequalities and lays out clear solutions that re-imagine economics from new perspectives. \nUnpacking the topics covered in their latest books\, Cheng and Scott discuss the social\, financial and environmental potential that could be achieved by giving women economic empowerment of their own and give tips on everyday changes you can make to stop these inequalities from growing.

SUMMARY:Talk\, ACEMS (online)
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Public Lecture featuring Dr. Eugenia Cheng \nAustralian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Mathematical and Statistical Frontiers \n“Inclusion-Exclusion in the mathematical sciences: who is kept out\, and how we can use maths to bring them in” \nThe question of why women and minorities are under-represented in mathematics is complex and there are no simple answers\, only many contributing factors. I will draw on a combination of precise mathematical reasoning\, techniques of abstract mathematical thinking\, and my experiences as a woman in the male-dominated field of mathematics. I 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. I 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. \nI will present the abstract field of Category Theory as a particularly inclusive subject area according to the dimensions of my new theory\, and demonstrate its scope for deepening the curiosity and social awareness of high 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 abstract mathematics is removed from real life. No prior knowledge will be needed.  Dr Eugenia Cheng \n

SUMMARY:Talk\, University of Ottawa Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Associativity\, Commutativity and Units: a Higher-dimensional ballet \nThe event page is here. \nAbstract: \nAssociativity\, commutativity and unit laws are axioms we typically learn about early on\, in the context of numbers. We might then take them for granted until we meet non-commutative situations\, such as multiplication of matrices\, or symmetry groups. In higher dimensions we start to encounter non-associativity and non-unitality as well\, but there is more nuance: rather than associativity simply being true or not true\, there are shades of grey\, where associativity holds up to isomorphism\, equivalence\, or just some sort of map. In this talk I will describe how those familiar three families of axioms become the essence of all the interesting features of weak higher-dimensional category theory. Moreover\, rather than being three different types of axioms they are inextricably related via a higher-dimensional version of distributivity. The ballet they present is one of ebb and flow\, give and take\, where rigidity for one “dancer” always needs to be offset by flexibility in another. I will show that the apparently mundane maths of high school has deep category theoretical insights embedded in it\, if we care to look. I will not assume any prior knowledge of category theory\, but prior interest in pure mathematics will help. \nThe talk will be by Zoom\, with links sent to anyone who registers. \nClick here to register.
