The Black Heroes of Mathematics

The Vision of the conference is “To celebrate the inspirational contributions of black role models to the field of mathematics”. 

There will be a balance of technical talks by internationally renowned black speakers that include some detail of career paths and experience to provide a testimonial dimension. We plan to achieve a balance of career stage and gender. Our speakers include Professor Edray Goins [Pomona College], Professor Nkechi Agwu [CUNY], Professor Tannie Liverpool [Bristol] and Dr Angela Tabiri [AIMS Ghana] to name a few.

We plan two sessions 26 October 2020 [morning and afternoon] and two sessions on 27 October [afternoon and early evening] to suit our audience and our line-up of international speakers. The second session each day will be a questions and discussion session hosted by Dr Nira Chamberlain, President of the IMA. We plan that pre-recorded talks will be available during the first session each day [these will be pre-released by a few hours]. The questions and discussion sessions each day will be hosted in real time. 

We are requesting that all talks are accessible to the wide audience that we hope to attract.
