We Speak: Inspiring Women in Math Speaker Series
In honor of AWM’s 50th Anniversary, each month we will feature a woman who has made a difference in the landscape of the mathematical sciences. Each speaker will give a 30-40 minute talk followed by a Q&A session from the audience for the remainder of the hour. Each speaker is invited to speak about their research, critical issues in mathematics, mathematics education, their career journey, or any other topic of their choosing. Math talks will be accessible for the advanced undergraduate student. Talks will be the final Friday of each month of 2021. We hope that you will join in!
