The Arbeitskreis Gleichstellung would like to launch a series of film evenings at the Department of Mathematics, which are to take place approximately once a semester. All status groups of the department are cordially invited! Before and after the film, there will be enough space to talk together over a drink.

The first film evening will take place

on 16.01.2023 from 18:30 in room S2|15 – 244.

We will watch the film Hidden Figures in the English original, the film is scheduled to start at 19:00.

The film is based on a true story and tells the story of a team of African-American women who provide NASA with important mathematical data at the time of racial segregation, without which the launch of the first successful space mission would not have been possible.

In addition to drinks, there will also be rescued food for free consumption on this film evening. This is organised by foodsharing Darmstadt e.V., an association in Darmstadt that campaigns against food waste. You are welcome to bring bags or other containers for any leftovers.

We look forward to seeing you there!

The event is financially supported by the CRC-326 Gaus.

What is WIM Lunch?

This is an informal lunch meeting in the Mensa (Stadtmitte) or in a restaurant for female mathematicians at the TU Darmstadt. The purpose is to get to know each other, to connect and, of course, to eat together. If you have questions, maybe someone is able to answer them. If you don't have questions, then you can hopefully enjoy good company during your lunch. All female mathematicians from PhD student to Professor are cordially invited to join.

The meeting point is always 11:50 am in front of S2|15.

Dates in winter 2022/23: November 7th, 2022; December 13th, 2023 and January 18th, 2024

For further information please contact Elena Mäder-Baumdicker.

Christine Bernardi Lectures

Once a year the Department of Mathematics organizes a Christine Bernardi Lecture, which is given by an excellent mathematician working in fields of mathematics related to Christine Bernardi and will address a broad mathematical audience.

The first Christine Bernardi Lecture took place on November 8th, 2023, 5:15pm, at the Uhrturmhörsaal ot the TU Darmstadt. Andrea Walther was the lecturer.

After or before the lecture, the speaker shares experiences about a career in Mathematics. The conversation with Andrea Walther took place at November 8th 2023, 3pm.

Interested in the everyday life of a WiMi or a PhD in mathematics?

Take the opportunity to get an insight into the different working groups of our department and get personal first-hand experience reports from WiMis.

After a short info talk you can accompany the WiMis to their offices and clarify open questions in a relaxed atmosphere.

Program:

13:30 – 13:40 What is a WiMi?
13:40 – 14:00 Tips and tricks for applying for a WiMi position by Prof. Elena Mäder-Baumdicker
14:00 – 15:30 Visiting the WiMis in their offices

Please be aware that this event is held in German.

Dr. Anna-Christin Ransiek from the group „Gender Studies in Mathematics“ from the Freien Universität Berlin is giving a talk about the project

„MATH+ as a Research Object“ of the excellence cluster Math+ in Berlin.

Place and time: 09.02.2023 at 04:30 pm in S2|15-244

Before the talk there will be a coffee break at 4pm in S2|15-244.
