New Women in Math

[ChristinaSormani]

Please be sure to send me the names/emails/affiliations of any new
women who have recently been tenured in mathematics at doctoral
institutions. We would like to include them on the list of members
here and the list has not been updated in three years.

Then I guess I'm on the list illicitly, since I only got tenure two
years ago. ;-)

We tenured Sarah Witherspoon (s...@math.tamu.edu) and Laura Matusevich
(la...@math.tamu.edu) in the last two years. Just in case she was
tenured three years ago, Guergana Petrova (gpet...@math.tamu.edu)
should be added to the list too.

Best,
Sue

Please be sure to send me the names/emails/affiliations of any new 

women who have recently been *tenured* in mathematics at *doctoral 
institutions*.  We would like to include them on the list of members 
here and the list has not been updated in a few years.

The reason this list only included women mathematicians tenured at doctoral

institutions is because we discuss issues relevant particularly to being mathematicians

at doctoral institutions.  I created this group, because discussions at AWM sites

tended to rapidly involve so many women at four year colleges that it was hard to

focus topics on issues relevant to those of us at doctoral institutions.

For example: it is a critical concern to women at doctoral institutions that we pursue

NSF funding, invitations to the top conferences, and other highly selective

forms of acknowledgement.  While women at other institutions may pursue these 

if they wish, they are less required to do so.  Discussing these topics with the larger 

group engaged tended to lead to accusations of elitism.   It isn't elitism, it is a matter 

of promotion to full professor for us.  

This group was in fact created specifically to address the selection of mathematicians

for top prizes and to start a discussion around the 2006 Alexander-Taylor-Uhlenbeck letter

published here.   It can also be found here:
