2022 Texas Women in Math Symposium

这一NSF奖项为2022年2月5-6日在德克萨斯州休斯敦的莱斯大学举行的德克萨斯女性数学研讨会(TWIMS)提供支持。TWIMS是一个会议系列，每个学年在德克萨斯州的不同机构举行。TWIMS会议系列的持续目标是突出杰出的知名女性数学家的研究和专业成就，为早期职业女性数学家提供一个展示她们研究的支持性平台，促进德克萨斯州数学家之间的联系，导致长期的专业关系，并创造一个包容各方的环境，讨论女性在数学领域面临的问题。这次会议向任何性别的参与者开放，将有机会在所有职业水平的数学家之间以及在几个数学子领域进行合作。通过促进这些合作，TWIMS 2022将为数学研究的进步做出贡献，并将鼓励早期职业研究人员继续在数学科学领域工作。来自不同背景的个人将导致研究的进步。越来越多的人对从事数学研究感兴趣，研究人员的背景多样化，增加了考虑任何数学问题的视角的数量。这是整个领域进步的关键。在每个职业阶段，我们都会看到女性在数学领域的流失率远远高于男性。为了在每个职业阶段留住妇女，必须消除阻碍妇女充分发挥其潜力的体制障碍。其中一些障碍包括社会上普遍存在的负面性别陈规定型观念，缺乏多样化的代表性和榜样，以及缺乏教师和导师的鼓励。TWIMS旨在直接解决这些问题，明确目标是在每个职业阶段为女性在数学领域做出贡献并留住她们。为此，研讨会将展示对一系列杰出受邀演讲者的研究，以提供在数学领域取得成功的女性的例子，她们可以成为年轻数学家或职业生涯早期阶段的女性的榜样。TWIMS将通过小组分组会议和职业发展小组，提供建立导师/被辅导者关系的诱人机会。此外，与会者将审查数学中的性别问题，目的是减轻基于性别的问题。要减少女性在数学科学领域的流失，就必须有积极的专业和学术经验，促进数学领域的女性榜样，建立鼓励和支持女性数学家的社区，并提供有效的指导。TWMS将提供这些经验，并促进为数学领域的妇女在其职业生涯的每个阶段建立一个支持性的包容性数学社区，使她们能够为数学科学的进步做出贡献。会议网站是https://sites.google.com/view/twims-2022/about.This奖，反映了国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This NSF award provides support for Texas Women in Math Symposium (TWIMS) at Rice University in Houston, Texas on February 5-6, 2022. The TWIMS is a conference series that takes place at a different institution in Texas each academic year. The ongoing goals of the TWIMS conference series are to highlight the research and professional accomplishments of outstanding, established female mathematicians, to provide a supportive platform for early career women mathematicians to showcase their research, to facilitate connections among Texas-based mathematicians that lead to long-lasting professional relationships, and to create an inclusive environment to discuss issues facing women in mathematics. The conference is open to participants of any gender and will feature opportunities for collaboration between mathematicians of all career levels and across several mathematical subfields. By fostering these collaborations, TWIMS 2022 will contribute to the advancement of mathematical research and will encourage early career researchers to continue to work in the mathematical sciences.The inclusion of individuals from dissimilar backgrounds leads to the advancement of research. Increasing the number of people interested in pursuing math research and diversifying the backgrounds of researchers increases the number of perspectives from which any math problem is considered. This is key to the advancement of the field as a whole. At each career stage we see attrition of women in mathematics at rates disproportionately higher than those of men. In order to increase retention of women at every career stage, the institutional barriers preventing women from reaching their full potential need to be removed. Some of these barriers include the prevalence of negative societal gender stereotypes, lack of diverse representation and role models, and lack of encouragement from teachers and mentors. TWIMS aims to address these problems directly with the explicit goal of contributing to and in retention of women in math at every career stage. To this end, the symposium will showcase the research of a diverse array of distinguished invited speakers to provide examples of successful women in math who can be role-models to younger mathematicians or women at an earlier stage in their careers. TWIMS will provide engaging opportunities to build mentor/mentee relationships by featuring small group breakout sessions and a career advancement panel. Furthermore, participants will examine gender issues in mathematics with the goal to mitigate gender-based problems. Positive professional and academic experiences, the promotion of woman-identifying role models in mathematics, the existence of encouraging and supportive communities of women mathematicians, and effective mentorship are necessary to decrease attrition among women in the mathematical sciences. TWMS will provide these experiences and facilitate the growth of a supportive inclusive mathematical community for women in math at every stage of their careers, allowing them to contribute to the advancement of the mathematical sciences.
