Code of Conduct:
The Western Algebraic Geometry Symposium aims to create an environment that is stimulating, supportive, and welcoming to all participants. We build that environment through our community, with each of us playing an active role in creating a positive experience for all. We ask you to be welcoming, respectful, and generous towards all participants and to recognize that it is your responsibility to ensure that your actions match your intent.
All participants must abide by the University of Arizona nondiscrimination and anti-harassment policy.
About WAGS:
WAGS is a twice-yearly meeting of algebraic geometers in the Western half of North America that traces its origins back to the Utah-UCLA Algebraic Geometry Seminar started in 1989. Long term planning for WAGS is currently being organized by Nicolas Addington, Roya Beheshti Zavareh, María Angélica Cueto, José González, Dustin Ross, Karl Schwede, Farbod Shokrieh, and Mark Shoemaker.
