Brian Katz: Math Colloquium
Room 103, Darwin Hall
4:00 pm
My Mathematics as a Queer Resistance to Toxic Masculinity. As a queer and gender-nonconforming person, I have experienced the toxic expectations of masculinity from some distance. Curiously, from this vantage point, masculinity seems to be a state of knowing rather than one of being in important ways that parallel doing mathematics. In this talk, I will discuss these parallels as well as some details of how I experience a queer mathematics as resistance to the toxic forms of both masculinity and mathematics. Don't worry, there will be lots of silly pop-culture references. Open to all students, faculty, and community members. For any questions or accommodations, please email [email protected]
