The 29^th annual workshop in geometric topology will be held 
at Oregon State University in Corvallis, Oregon
on June 28^th , 29^th , and 30^th , 2012.

The principal speaker will be Professor Benson Farb of the 
University of Chicago. He will give a series of three talks:

(I) Permutations and polynomiality in algebra and topology,**

(II) Surface bundles, mapping class groups, moduli spaces, 
and cohomology , and

(III) Reconstruction problems in geometry and topology

*Registration****for the workshop will be through the math 
programs site:*

Additional details on the workshop will be posted at the web 
site:

FUNDING: Funding is partially provided by the National 
Science Foundation and by Oregon State University.
Limited funds will be available to support travel and local 
expenses of participants.
Priority will be given to graduate students and those 
without other funding sources.

This message was sent to you via the Geometry List, which announces conferences in geometry and closely related areas to over 1200 mathematicians worldwide.

At http://listserv.utk.edu/archives/geometry.html there are many functions available, including checking the archives since November 2005, changing your e-mail address or preferences, and joining/leaving the list. If you have problems that cannot be resolved at this website, send a message to [log in to unmask]

Before sending an announcement, please carefully read the following. Any announcements that are *not* about conferences (e.g. those about jobs, journals, books, etc.) will be rejected by the moderator without comment. To announce a geometry or closely related conference, send the announcement (including a conference web site if possible) to [log in to unmask] The moderator cannot edit your message; list members will receive the announcement as an e-mail from you EXACTLY as you submitted it. For example, if your submission starts with "Please post this on the geometry list" then your conference announcement will also begin with that statement. In order to keep down the volume of e-mail, only TWO announcements per conference will be approved by the moderator. The "subject" of your message should include the name of the conference and the number (first or second) of the announcement, e.g. Gauss Memorial Lectures in Geometry: Second Announcement. Please check that your announcement (especially the website) is correct. Corrections will be approved only in the most critical situations, e.g. if corrected information is not available on the website. If you send a submission from an e-mail address that is not subscribed to the geometry list then you will be sent an e-mail asking for confirmation. This feature is designed to thwart the hundreds of machine-generated spam that are sent to the list and would otherwise have to be manually blocked by the moderator.

The Geometry List is sponsored and maintained by the Mathematics Department, The University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
