Film Launch and International Panel Discussion

A celebration of women in mathematics

In 2018, the uplifting movie "Faces of Women in Mathematics" was released for International Women's Day, raising the profile of women mathematicians around the world. Three years after this movie and after over a year of pandemic, this follow up film presents words and images of women in mathematics, sharing their experiences during the pandemic.

This pandemic has indeed made women, and in particular women in mathematics, more invisible than ever and we hope that this project will contribute to letting them be heard and seen.

The film will be launched on May 12, for you to watch at your own convenience. in the morning.

A panel discussion involving women mathematicians from around the world who participated in both films will take place online at 16.00 BST/ 17.00 CET.

Panellists include:

  • Sylvia Paycha, France (panel chair)
  • Irina Linke, Filmmaker, Germany
  • Elisabetta Strickland, Italy
  • Jyoti Upadhyaya, Nepal
  • Alicia Dickenstein, Argentina
  • Olubunmi Fadipe-Joseph, Nigeria

This event will take place online. A joining link will be sent out via email on the day of the event.

This event is taking place as part of May12: a celebration of women in mathematics.
