The Connections for Women workshop associated to the MSRI program in noncommutative algebraic geometry and representation theory is intended to bring together women who are working in these areas in all stages of their careers.
As the first event in the semester, this workshop will feature a "tapas menu" of current research and open questions: light but intriguing tastes, designed to encourage further exploration and interest. Talks will be aimed at a fairly general audience and will cover diverse topics within the theme of the program. In addition, there will be a poster session for graduate students and recent PhD recipients and a panel discussion on career issues, as well as free time for informal discussion. Organizers: Georgia Benkart (University of Wisconsin-Madison) Ellen Kirkman (Wake Forest University) Susan Sierra (University of Edinburgh) Speakers: Iain Gordon (University of Edinburgh) Graham Leuschke (Syracuse University) Susan Sierra (University of Edinburgh) Catharina Stroppel (University of Bonn) Michaela Vancliff (University of Texas, Arlington) Lauren Williams (UC Berkeley) Sarah Witherspoon (Texas A&M University) James Zhang (University of Washington) Panelists: Lourdes Juan (Texas Tech University) Gail Letzter (NSA) Anne Shepler (University of North Texas) Monica Vazirani (UC Davis) Chelsea Walton (MIT)  Accommodation: A block of rooms has been reserved at the Rose Garden Inn.
