The main objectives of ENYGMMa are to foster community among women and non-binary mathematicians in the New York area, build an inviting, productive, and optimistic space where gender minority researchers can thrive, and increase the academic visibility of underrepresented members of the mathematical community. Each seminar will feature colloquium-style talks by typically underrrepresented gender minority mathematicians on current topics in research, as well as a lunch where participants can meet each other, talk to the invited speakers, and expand their network of friends and collaborators in the NY area.

Our Name

Underrepresentation and marginalization are pervasive, pernicious phenomena in mathematics today. The lack of community within institutions and departments is isolating. Lack of visibility impedes networking, makes it difficult for young mathematicians to find role models, and obstructs the sort of individual connections that are often what lead to the most productive and enjoyable mathematical work. ENYGMMa is about opening the conversation of mathematics to a greater variety of voices, ensuring that everyone has opportunities to speak and spaces in which to be heard.
