This talk will give a quick and dirty introduction to orbifold bordism. We will start by briefly recalling some basic properties and definitions of orbifolds and sketch (very roughly) how orbifolds can be defined in the language of $C^\infty$-stacks due to Joyce (after introducing these). We will then review classical bordism theory for manifolds (in some nonstandard way) and discuss which definitions and results generalize to the orbifold case. A word of warning: this talk is intended to be an introduction and wants to give an overview over the subject, so it is likely that we will be sloppy here and there.
