RNT: Rethinking Number Theory
Virtual , June 20 - July 1, 2022
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 liberate the graduate school and postdoc experience, research seminars, hiring process, conferences, and grant applications.
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 research seminars, postdoc positions, and graduate school be transformed to be comfortable to everyone?
Funding Sources
The Number Theory Foundation is providing funding for participants.
The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Department of Mathematics is providing honorarium funds for the project leaders.
