Join us for the inaugural session of Mathematrix book club! Have you heard that office workplaces often have the thermostat set at a temperature that is too cold for women to work comfortably? This month we will be discussing the academic articles behind concepts that often come up in conversations about gender inequality in the workplace. The goal of book club is to develop an evidence-based understanding of diversity in mathematics and academia.
Prof Ian Griffiths (a mental health first aider in the department) will lead a discussion about how to protect your mental health when studying an intense graduate degree and outline the support and resources available within the Mathematical Institute.
Come take a break and get to know other Mathematrix members over some crafts! All supplies and sweet treats provided.
Mathematicians often like to think of maths as objective. Science communicator Hana Ayoob joins us to discuss how the fact that humans do maths means that the ways maths is developed, used, and communicated are not neutral.
A discussion on how race and ethnicity interact with the concept of merit in academia, based on sections from the book 'Misconceiving Merit' by Blair-Loy and Cech.
Your chance to ask Mathematrix DPhil students about the process of applying to PhD programs, including written stages and interviews!
