- New Women in Math [1 Update]
Christina Sormani <sorm...@gmail.com> May 02 07:29PM -0700
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:
