The Math For All in New Orleans Conference will be held virtually on March 5-7, 2021. The overall goal of the Math For All in New Orleans conference is to increase diversity in mathematics and expose mathematicians in the Greater New Orleans area to the wide variety of research available at nearby institutions. Due to this year’s virtual format, many participants will be also attending from different parts of the United States. The conference will include four broadly accessible plenary talks, six contributed research sessions, a diverse career panel, two workshops and a poster session. Through these avenues, the conference is designed to engage undergraduate and graduate students into a community of mathematics and prepare them for future careers in the field. The plenary speakers and panelists come from around the United States, representing multiple ethnic and mathematical backgrounds, giving students visible role models in industry and academia with whom they can identify. Participants will have the opportunity to present research and attend professional development workshops in a welcoming and inclusive environment. The conference will strive to make mathematics more accessible to underrepresented groups, ultimately increasing diversity in the field. The conference will have participants representing HBCUs and smaller universities in the New Orleans area, with the goal of exposing them to a broad mathematical research community. These aspects of the conference help students be better prepared to transition to research-focused environments, which will increase retention of underrepresented groups in the mathematical fields. The conference will also stimulate discussions amongst faculty on inclusive pedagogy aimed at advancing students from underrepresented groups. The organizing committee is dedicated to amplifying the voices of underrepresented minorities in mathematics by highlighting the importance of representation, allyship, and individual actions towards changing systemic forms of oppression in mathematics.

新奥尔良会议的所有数学将于2021年3月5日至7日举行。在新奥尔良会议的总体目标是增加数学的多样性，并使大新奥尔良地区的数学家接触到附近机构提供的各种研究。由于今年的虚拟形式，许多与会者也将参加来自美国不同地区。会议将包括四个广泛访问的全体会议，六个贡献的研究会议，一个多元化的职业小组，两个研讨会和一个海报会议。通过这些途径，会议旨在让本科生和研究生参与数学社区，并为他们在该领域的未来职业做好准备。全体演讲者和小组成员来自美国各地，代表多个种族和数学背景，让学生在行业和学术界与他们可以识别可见的榜样。参与者将有机会在热情和包容的环境中展示研究成果并参加专业发展研讨会。会议将努力使数学更容易获得代表性不足的群体，最终增加该领域的多样性。会议将有代表HBCU和新奥尔良地区较小的大学的参与者，目的是让他们接触到广泛的数学研究社区。会议的这些方面帮助学生更好地准备过渡到以研究为重点的环境，这将增加在数学领域代表性不足的群体的保留。会议还将激发教师之间关于包容性教学法的讨论，旨在促进来自代表性不足群体的学生。组委会致力于通过强调代表性，联盟关系和个人行动的重要性来扩大数学中代表性不足的少数群体的声音，以改变数学中的系统性压迫形式。 会议网站：http://www.math.tulane.edu/mathforallnolaThis奖反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为值得通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。
