Hurwitz spaces are important moduli spaces in both number theory and algebraic geometry. From my joint work with Aaron Landesman, I will explain how Hurwitz spaces associated to finite racks satisfy homological stability, as well as modules over these Hurwitz spaces associated to more general surfaces. I will moreover explain how the stable homology of such spaces can be described in terms of that of simpler ones.

I will explain my work on extending Kontsevich's construction of characteristic classes in terms of configuration space integrals to fibre bundles with more general fibres.
