AWM Panel: Equity, Ethics, and Bias in Mathematics Research, Thursday, 1:00 p.m.-2:30 p.m., organized by Alina Bucur, University of California San Diego; Amanda Bower, University of Michigan; Carla Cotwright-Williams, AWM Executive Committee; Courtney Gibbons, Hamilton College; Alana Huszar, University of Michigan; Lily Khadjavi, Loyola Marymount University; Adriana Salerno, Bates College; and Michelle Snider, IDA/Center for Computing Sciences. At the 2021 JMM, in lieu of the Noether Lecture, the AWM will host a panel of experts on issues of equity, ethics, and bias in algorithm development and in research more generally. Historically, mathematics has been presented as a neutral arbiter of “truth,” but the development and application of mathematics can have significant moral and ethical context and implications. With this event, the AWM seeks to highlight and promote the work that a growing number of experts in the mathematical sciences are already doing, as a step toward broadening the conversation and moving the mathematics community toward greater awareness of the unintended ethical consequences of our work. Each panelist will give a short-prepared presentation, with time for moderated Q&A afterwards. Moderated by Carla Cotwright-Williams, AWM Executive Committee. Panelists will be: Loretta Cheeks, DS Innovation & Strong TIES, CEO; Maria De-Arteaga, The University of Texas at Austin; Kristian Lum, University of Pennsylvania; and Suresh Venkatasubramanian, University of Utah
AWM Panel: AWM Through the Decades, organized by Georgia Benkart, University of Wisconsin, Madison and Emille Davie Lawrence, University of San Francisco; Thursday, 2:30 – 4:00 p.m. Since its founding in 1971, the Association for Women in Mathematics has been a force for positive change in the culture and demographics of the mathematics world and an effective voice of support for women in the mathematical sciences. AWM Through the Decades is an event to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the organization’s founding. It will feature five AWM past presidents, one from each decade, discussing the major challenges that they and AWM faced during their presidency, and the challenges they see for expanding the participation of women in mathematics in the decades ahead. The audience will be treated to reflections on the history of women in mathematics in the last five decades and on what the next five decades may hold in store. Ruth Haas, University of Hawaii at Manoa, current AWM president, will moderate the panel. Panelists will be Mary Gray, American University, first president and one of AWM’s founders; Rhonda Hughes, Bryn Mawr College; Carol Wood, Wesleyan University; Suzanne Lenhart, University of Tennessee and Kristin Lauter, Microsoft Research. AWM Through the Decades is sponsored by the Association for Women in Mathematics.
