[Alta-Logic] Fwd: RSVP Now - October 11 Diversity Dialogue Luncheon in Celebration of Ada Lovelace Day

[Kristine Bauer]

Dear AWM’ers and Peripatetic Seminar-ers,

You may have already received this invitation from Dr. Steve Vamosi, but I wanted to forward it to you again to point it out.  Eugenia Cheng is a renowned mathematician who specializes in Category Theory.  She will be delivering the Richard & Louise Guy lecture on October 11.  Dr. Vamosi has told me that he would be VERY HAPPY if this lunch has many students attending.  Please consider it.  And, you won’t be alone!  I’m going and I’d love for you to join me!

Cheers,
Kristine

Inclusion-exclusion in mathematics: who stays in, who falls out, why it happens, and what we should do about it.

The Faculty of Science<http://em.ucalgary.ca/v02z08zv0GKNOKELL00z001> and the Schulich School of Engineering<http://em.ucalgary.ca/e81zwN00000LOz0z2LFKK0G> are pleased to welcome Dr. Eugenia Cheng as this year's speaker for the Diversity Dialogue Luncheon in celebration of Ada Lovelace Day.

Join Dr. Cheng for an informal discussion about her experiences of being a female mathematician and teaching mathematics at all levels - from elementary school to grad school. The question why women are under-represented in mathematics is complex. There are no simple answers - only multiple contributing factors.

Dr. Cheng argues that by focusing on character traits rather than gender, we can have more productive and less divisive conversations. To show this, Dr. Cheng will introduce gender-neutral character adjectives "ingressive" and "congressive" to replace 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."

Seating is limited. Be sure to register early.

Date: Thursday, October 11, 2018
Doors Open: 11:20 am
Program: Noon - 1 pm
Location: Senate Room, Hotel Alma (7th Floor)

Lunch is provided.

Kindly forward this invitation to students, faculty and staff who you feel would be interested in attending this event. Thank you.

ABOUT ADA LOVELACE DAY

Ada Lovelace is considered the first computer programmer, having published the first piece of computer code in 1843. Her contributions to computer science went unrecognized until the 1950's.

Ada Lovelace Day (ALD) is an international celebration day of the achievements of women in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM). It aims to increase the profile of women in STEM and, in doing so, create new role models who will encourage more girls into STEM careers and support women already working in STEM.
