Dear Kristine,

Would you be willing to circulate the 2018 Talbot Workshop announcement (included below) to your department and any other individuals you think might be interested? We're excited to have Emily and Dominic as this year's mentors, and are eager to promote the workshop to a broader audience since the topic is a bit different from past years.

Let me know if you have any questions, and thanks in advance!

- Morgan Opie

The application for this year's Talbot workshop is now live. See below for details:


2018 TALBOT WORKSHOP: MODEL-INDEPENDENT THEORY OF ∞-CATEGORIES
Mentored by Emily Riehl and Dominic Verity
May 27-June 2, 2018
Government Camp, OR

The Talbot Workshop is a 1-week learning workshop for roughly 35
graduate students and a few postdocs. Most of the talks will be given by
participants, and will be expository in nature. This year's topic is on
Riehl and Verity's work developing a theory of ∞-categories from first
principles in a model-independent fashion, that is, using a common
axiomatic framework that is satisfied by a variety of models. The goal
is to demonstrate that theorems proven using the combinatorics of a
particular model transfer across specified "change of model" functors.
More details about the program, including a preliminary list of talks
and references, can be found here:

Applications are now open, and close on Wednesday, February 28 at
11:59PM. You can apply online here:

Talbot is meant to encourage collaboration among young researchers, with
an emphasis on graduate students. We also aim to gather participants
with a diverse array of knowledge and interests, so applicants need not
be an expert in the field--in particular, students at all levels of
graduate education are encouraged to apply. As we are committed to
promoting diversity in mathematics, we also especially encourage women
and minorities to apply.

We will cover all local expenses including lodging and food. We also
offer partial funding for participants' travel costs.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to e-mail the
organizers at talbotworkshop (at) gmail.com<http://gmail.com/>.
