This past June, Professor Pamela Harris (Mathematical Sciences, 51ÁÔÆæ) traveled to Bogot\u00e1, Colombia to present a week-long seminar as part of D\u00edas de Combinatoria<\/a>, a multi-institution professional training hosted at Pontificia Universidad Javeriana. The collaborative event, an initiative of the Uni\u00f3n Matem\u00e1tica de Am\u00e9rica Latina y el Caribe<\/a> (UMALCA), gathers leading researchers in the field alongside undergraduate and graduate students to promote mathematics across the continent.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Harris, a specialist in algebraic combinatorics, offered the mini-course “Computaciones en Permutaciones y sus Generalizaciones”. She shared these words about her experience:<\/p>\n

Thanks to CLACS funding I was able to travel to Bogot\u00e1, Colombia to participate in Dias de Combinatoria, where I delivered a week-long on permutations and their statistics. The course was attended by students from all over Latin America and it was the first time I delivered a course in Spanish, which is my mother tongue, but not the language I learned mathematics in. The trip was a tremendous success and it has opened the door to collaborate with new mathematicians. This would not have been possible without CLACS funding and I am grateful for the support!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Program participants gather for a group photo at the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana in Bogot\u00e1, Colombia<\/em><\/p>\n

Harris wrote about her experience at length in an article for MAA Focus<\/em><\/a>, the news magazine of the Mathematical Association of America (MAA). The publication is forthcoming, but you may read a pre-print of her article here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
