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. Organizers: ● 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) ● Michelle Snider (IDA/Center for Computing Sciences) Moderators: ● Carla Cotwright-Williams (AWM Executive Committee) Panelists: ● Loretta Cheeks (DS Innovation & Strong TIES, CEO) ● Maria De-Arteaga (The University of Texas at Austin) ● Kristian Lum (University of Pennsylvania) ● Suresh Venkatasubramanian (University of Utah) Thursday, January 7, 2021 Association for Women in Mathematics Panel – AWM Through the Decades 2:30PM – 4:00PM MST 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. AWM Through the Decades is sponsored by the Association for Women in Mathematics. Organizers: ● Georgia Benkart (University of Wisconsin – Madison) ● Emille Davie Lawrence (University of San Francisco) Moderators: ● Ruth Haas (University of Hawaii at Manoa – Current AWM President) Panelists: ● Mary Gray (American University – First President and one of the founders) ● Rhonda Hughes (Bryn Mawr College) ● Kristin Lauter (Microsoft Research) ● Suzanne Lenhart (University of Tennessee) ● Carol Wood (Wesleyan University) Thursday, January 7, 2021 Joint Prize Session This event has been cancelled.

Alternative Names: Jackson, Trachette L.; Life Dates: July 24, 1972- Place of Birth: , Residence: , (from ? to ?) Occupations: Mathematician; Math Professor Biographical Note Mathematician and professor of mathematics Trachette Jackson was born on July 24, 1972. She attended a large public high school and spent her summers at a math-science honors program hosted by Arizona State University where she developed her passion for mathematics. Jackson was an excellent student and graduated in the top twenty of her class. In 1994, she received her B.S. degree in mathematics from Arizona State University. Jackson earned her M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Washington in 1996 and 1998, respectively. Her Ph.D. thesis was entitled “Mathematical Models in Two-Step Cancer Chemotherapy.” She completed postdoctoral positions with the Institute for Mathematics and its Applications at the University of Minnesota, and at Duke University. In 2000, Jackson joined the faculty at the University of Michigan as an assistant professor in the mathematics department. She was promoted to associate professor in 2003. In 2006, Jackson was appointed as the co- principal investigator of the National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded University of Michigan SUBMERGE (Supplying Undergraduate Biology and Mathematics Education Research Group Experiences) program. SUBMERGE is an interdisciplinary program in math and biology that exposes undergraduates to experimental biology within mathematical modeling and gives exposure to quantitative analysis in biology courses. In 2008, she became a full professor in Michigan’s mathematics department. Jackson is the co-founder, and is the co-director, of the the Mathematics Biology Research Group (MBRG).

    The IMA Volumes in Mathematics and its Applications Trachette Jackson Ami Radunskaya Editors Applications of Dynamical Systems in Biology and Medicine The IMA Volumes in Mathematics and its Applications Volume 158 More information about this series at http://www.springer.com/series/811 Institute for Mathematics and its Applications (IMA) The Institute for Mathematics and its Applications was established by a grant from the National Science Foundation to the University of Minnesota in 1982. The primary mission of the IMA is to foster research of a truly interdisciplinary nature, establishing links between mathematics of the highest caliber and important scientific and technological problems from other disciplines and industries. To this end, the IMA organizes a wide variety of programs, ranging from short intense workshops in areas of exceptional interest and opportunity to extensive thematic programs lasting a year. IMA Volumes are used to communicate results of these programs that we believe are of particular value to the broader scientific community. The full list of IMA books can be found at the Web site of the Institute for Mathematics and its Applications: http://www.ima.umn.edu/springer/volumes.html.

  • President's Report
    Volume 39, Number 2 NEWSLETTER March–April 2009 President’s Report Dear Colleagues: On the occasion of its centennial in 1988, the American Mathematical Soci- ety presented AWM with a handsome silver bowl. This bowl has come to symbol- ize the presidency of AWM, and the tradition has evolved that it is passed from the president to the soon-to-be president at the January joint mathematics meetings. I thank Cathy Kessel for handing over the bowl and presidency to me, for her two years of dedication and leadership as president, and for her shining example of how to polish the bowl. Cathy has generously given of her time to answer my many questions and to explain the intricacies of how AWM functions. I am very grateful to be handed this gift of the presidency. IN THIS ISSUE In my year as president-elect, I have come to realize what a truly unique organization AWM is. With just a few staff members (all employed by AWM 10 AWM at the JMM only part time), AWM thrives because of its volunteers. They are its lifeblood; they enable all the programs, awards, and outreach activities to take place. 20 AWM Essay Contest Nowhere has the spirit of volunteerism been more evident than at the recent joint meetings. A committee of volunteers, Elizabeth Allman, Megan Kerr, Magnhild 21 Book Review Lien, and Gail Ratcliff, selected twenty-four recent Ph.D. recipients and gradu- ate students to participate in the AWM workshop. Their task was difficult, as the 25 Education Column new online application process produced a larger than usual number of excellent 27 Math Teachers’ Circles applicants.

This research conference highlights the accomplishments of women in mathematics and showcases the research of female mathematicians at all stages of their careers. We are grateful to the University of Maryland for hosting this symposium and to our sponsors and exhibitors Microsoft Research, NSF, NSA, NIST, Springer, Elsevier, Google, Wolfram and INTECH for their generous support. In 2011, the Association for Women in Mathematics celebrated its fortieth anniversary with a research conference, “40 Years and Counting, AWM’s Celebration of Women in Mathematics.” Participation at the anniversary conference greatly exceeded all expectations and motivated AWM to launch a series of biennial research symposia. The second AWM Symposium was held at Santa Clara University in 2013, and this symposium is the third event in the series. These symposia are designed to help support and nurture networks of female researchers in many areas of mathematics, to provide networking opportunities for junior and senior women to enhance career prospects and recognition. AWM was founded in 1971 during a period when relatively few women in the U.S.
