Dear colleagues,


We are pleased to announce that the 2024 Gender Minorities in Topology and Related Areas Konference (GeMTRAK) will be held at the University of Pennsylvania on April 13th-14th, 2024. The conference aims to highlight the work of mathematicians in geometry and topology from gender minority groups, explore issues related to being a gender minority within academia, and boost networking connections within the mathematics community in the Northeast region. 

The conference website (and a downloadable poster) can be found here: https://web.sas.upenn.edu/gems-in-math/gemtrak-2024/

There will be two distinguished plenary lectures given by: 


Linda Chen (Swarthmore College)

Chikako Mese (Johns Hopkins University)

We also plan on having several contributed talks, and we warmly invite interested speakers to apply using the registration form linked below. 

The form for registration, funding requests, and speaker slots can be found here: https://forms.gle/867S5RmGRDYezXwW7

The deadline to register for the conference is April 1st, 2024. For those applying for funding or proposing a talk, the deadline is February 1st, 2024.

For more information concerning funding opportunities, transportation, and accommodations, please see the website or contact the organizers.

All the best, 

The GeMTRAK organizers (Maxine Calle, Marielle Ong, and Hunter Stufflebeam)

We are grateful to acknowledge that this conference is funded by Lisa Simonyi and the IAS Women+ and Mathematics program, as well as the UPenn Mathematics faculty. We especially like to thank Angela Gibney, Julia Hartmann, Mona Merling and Yumeng Ou for their support. 



=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- This message was sent to you via the Geometry List, which announces conferences in geometry and closely related areas to over 1800 mathematicians worldwide. We strongly recommend that announcements are mostly or all in plain text (i.e. without html formatting, which reportedly can create unexpected results on different devices and email systems), with a link provided to a nicely formatted web page.

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. Announcements of individual talks and department seminars will also be rejected; https://mathseminars.org is a good option to announce for such talks. To announce a geometry or closely related conference, send the announcement 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.

You are strongly encouraged to provide essential information such as dates and location near the top of the body of your message, and not require someone to visit your conference link to find it.

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. After submitting an announcement you may receive a message asking you to confirm your submission. 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. If you do not see your announcement within 48 hours, please check the archives to see whether it was actually posted (i.e. you somehow missed seeing the post or are not subscribed with your current email address). If the announcement is not in the archive, search for a confirmation message that you may have missed (from listserv.utk.edu). If none of this solves the mystery, send a message to [log in to unmask].

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