Presheaves on categories crop up everywhere! In this talk, I'll give a gentle introduction to 2-categories, and discuss the notion of a presheaf on a 2-category. In particular, we'll consider which 2-categories such a presheaf might take values in. Only a little familiarity with the notion of a category will be assumed!
