Research, Mentorship, and Community for Current and Future Under-represented Algebraists

This conference has three major themes: Mentoring and Transitioning Across the Profession; Belongingness in Algebra, Opening the Community, and Supporting New Researchers; and Innovation and Impact for Future Researchers that were inspired, in part, by the work of Dr. Aloysius Helmnick, a respected and prolific researcher in algebraic group theory and symmetric spaces and advocate for increasing representation in mathematics. 

To address these topics, the conference will feature current and future researchers in algebra and related fields from typically underrepresented groups by sharing research, providing networking opportunities, and highlighting mentoring across all levels through structured talks, round tables, and panels. In addition, the conference will create a model with tools and materials for similarly sized conferences to be hosted at other institutions to broaden impact and participation.
