University of Nottingham Committee

Are you a final year undergraduate, masters or PhD student in Mathematics at Nottingham, and would like to help set up a committee?

Then we’d love to hear from you! Please contact Piscopia at piscopiainitiative@gmail.com to find out more.

Previous committee members Alice and Niamh set up a society called Gender Equality in Mathematics (GEIM) at the University of Nottingham. You can find them on Instagram under @geim_uon!

The monthly meetings that GEIM host are usually for PGRs, Post docs and staff members at the university and can range from craft sessions to discussions about serious topics regarding gender equality in science! They hope to create a relaxed environment where everyone can be open and discuss their experiences being a minority gender in maths (good or bad), with the goal that everyone in the department feels they can join in the discussion. Recently, they held a relaxing origami session and a discussion session on progressing to the next year of your PhD and how this is impacting you. They also hosted a session in July that focused on Pride and members of the LGBTQIA+ community in the department.
