International Women in Math Day - Film Projection and Panel Discussion
Join us in celebrating International Women in Mathematics Day, May 12, with a film projection followed by a panel discussion.
Screening of the film Le Th茅or猫me de Marguerite (in French with English subtitles). This 2023 French fiction film, written and directed by Anna Novion and starring Ella Rumpf, portrays the experiences of a brilliant woman graduate student in mathematics, touching on many aspects of what it means to be a mathematician. The mathematician Ariane M茅zard (Sorbonne) served as a consultant for the film, and the research depicted centers on Goldbach鈥檚 conjecture, a classical problem in number theory.
Panel discussion following the film. The panel will feature women mathematicians from diverse backgrounds and at different stages of their careers. The discussion will focus on collaboration, a central theme of the movie and an important aspect of career development, particularly relevant to women and individuals from underrepresented groups in mathematics. The following faculty members are confirmed to participate in the panel: Linan Chen (涩里番), Lucile Devin (ULCO, France, visiting the IRL CRM-CNRS), Nadia Lafreni猫re (Concordia), and Patricia Sorya (U. Ottawa, 2025 Carl Herz prize recipient).
