In November, the American Mathematical Society will publish A Conversation on Professional Norms in Mathematics. Here is some information from the AMS website:
Edited by Mathilde Gerbelli-Gauthier: Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, NJ,
Pamela E. Harris: Williams College, Williamstown, MA,
Michael A. Hill: University of California, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA,
Dagan Karp: Harvey Mudd College, Claremont, CA,
Emily Riehl: Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD
The articles in this volume grew out of a 2019 workshop, held at Johns Hopkins University, that was inspired by a belief that when mathematicians take time to reflect on the social forces involved in the production of mathematics, actionable insights result. Topics range from mechanisms that lead to an inclusion-exclusion dichotomy within mathematics to common pitfalls and better alternatives to how mathematicians approach teaching, mentoring and communicating mathematical ideas.
This collection will be of interest to students, faculty and administrators wishing to gain a snapshot of the current state of professional norms within mathematics and possible steps toward improvements.
Readership
Undergraduate and graduate students and researchers interested in mathematical culture and society.
