The 2024 Joint Meetings of the Mathematical Societies (JMM) will be held in San Fransisco January 3-6. [Editorial note: I continue to have issues with conferences without virtual participation options, I was concerned about some of the fine print at registration, and I struggled to find a space to talk about teaching.]
Continuing our tradition, this post highlights events at this virtual meeting related to diversity, equity, and justice. In particular, I built the list below be reading the program and noting invited presentations and sessions having either titles indicated that some aspect of diversity/equity/justice would be the focus of the talk or sponsorship by groups including NAM, AWM, Spectra & Math Alliance. In addition, I reached to individuals who have contributed items to similar posts in the past.
Please note that this list will not be comprehensive. I have not looked within sessions for individual talks, and I certainly hope that we continue to #DisruptJMM by discussing these issues across the whole program. If you catch a session that I missed, you are welcome to message me; please forgive me for what I have missed or typos I have introduced.
I have recently learned that this kind of list ows has a past debt to Bill Hawkins, who would distribute a similar list in person at conferences.
Where possible, click on the hyperlinks to be re-directed to an online JMM Scientific Program page containing additional details about the individual talks. I believe that all times are listed in Pacific Time.
