Our goal is to build a community for women and gender minorities in math at the University of Toronto. Our activities include monthly tea/lunches, WiM lecture series, and math talk practice sessions. In the future, we plan on also starting a buddy program for students.
The WiM program at the University of Toronto was founded by Sarah Mayes-Tang. Currently, it is organized by Alisa Chistopolskaia, Alice Rolf, Lora Hreish, Marielle Ong, and Vivian He. If you would like to be added to the mailing list for these activities, please email one of the organizers. We explicitly welcome people who identify as being part of a gender minority.
Currently, our activities are for graduate students, post docs, and faculty members in the department. If you are an undergraduate student, check out the AWM University of Toronto Chapter.

Title: Orderable groups in algebra, topology and dynamics.
Abstract: This talk will introduce you to the notion of a linearly ordered (also known as left-ordered or right-ordered...) group. While this seems like a purely algebraic idea (group theory!) and while the algebraic side of the story has been around for a very long time, linear orders also have very interesting connections to topology and low-dimensional dynamics.
