In 1987\, Serre made a bold conjecture about mod ular forms in the spirit of a characteristic p Langlands program. Serre's conjecture (now a Theorem due to Khare-Wintenberger and Kisin) has a numbe r of interesting consequences including Fermat's Last Theorem.  This talk will begin with overview of Serre's original conjecture (the two dimension al case). There are now a number of generalizations of this conjecture to higher dimensions. After introducing these higher dimensional analogues\, I will describe recent progress towards the weight part of these conjectur es. This is joint work with Daniel Le and Bao V.
