Cal fo Nomination AWM–AMS NOETHER LECTURE The Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) established the Emmy Noether Lectures in 1980 to honor women who have made fundamental and sustained contributions to the mathematical sciences. In April 2013 this one-hour expository lecture was renamed the AWM–AMS Noether Lecture. The first jointly sponsored lecture was held in January 2015 at the Joint Mathematics Meetings (JMM) in San Antonio, Texas. Emmy Noether was one of the great mathematicians of her time, someone who worked and struggled for what she loved and believed in. Her life and work remain a tremendous inspiration. Additional past Noether lecturers can be found at https://awm-math.org/awards/noether-lectures. A nomination should include: a letter of nomination, a curriculum vitae of the candidate—not to exceed three pages, and a one-page outline of the nominee’s contribution to mathematics, giving four of her most important papers and other relevant information. Nominations are accepted annually from September 1 through October 15. Nominations will remain active for an additional two years after submission. The nomination procedure is described here: https://awm-math.org/awards /noether-lectures. If you have questions, call 401-455-4042 or email
