RNT: Rethinking Number Theory

Virtual,  summer 2025

Dreaming up a better number theory community

We believe that number theory should be not only accessible, but enjoyable to everyone. Join us for a joyful collaborative research experience, where people are valued and uplifted. Help us rethink the graduate school and postdoc experience, research seminars, hiring process, conferences, grant applications, and other aspects of our profession.

Research

This workshop will follow a model similar to the AMS's Mathematical Research Communities or to Women in Numbers: Team leaders have planned projects for participants to work on during the workshop. The goal is for participants to learn new math, get to know colleagues, and have a joyful, affirming research experience.

Social Justice

To ensure that all participants can share in this joyful research experience, we ask that all who apply to participate be committed to equity and justice. We will also make time to imagine a different way to do math: How could our profession be transformed to welcome and support everyone?
