[cmath] BIRS meeting promoting female mathematicians

[Alan Kelm]

Algebraic Combinatorixx will be held at the Banff International Research 
Station (BIRS) May 22-27, 2011. This 5-day workshop will bring together 
senior and junior female mathematicians to collaborate on cutting-edge 
research problems and to forge mentoring networks, with the long-term goal 
of increasing and strengthening the participation of women in algebraic 
combinatorics and related fields of research. The workshop will focus on 
combinatorics and its connections with representation theory, mathematical 
physics, statistical mechanics algebraic geometry, knot theory, symmetric 
functions, and invariant theory.

For information on how to apply, email combinatorixx at gmail.com. The number 
of participants is limited.  Applications should be received by May 1, 
2010. Early career (graduate students and non-tenured) algebraic 
combinatorialists are especially encouraged to apply. More information on 
the workshop will appear at the website
