We’ll explore and share various goals and what we might need as a group/department to help us move forward in our goals. \nIf you are involved in the PAIR Mentoring program\, this is an excellent space for initial goal-planning! \nWe will also use some time to organize and plan Community events for the Spring 2026 semester. \nWhat is the Community of Practice? \nThe Community of Practice is a space for everyone in the department (lecturers\, GTAs\, faculty) to come together and have chats\, professional development\, speakers\, workshops\, and more related to teaching and learning. There’s no sign-up; simply attend if you want! If you would like to be involved in any planning or would like to run a session\, please email me (henathan@uwm.edu) and let me know. \nThe Community of Practice Canvas Site \nWe have a Community of Practice Canvas site where we keep a signup and modules for past sessions.

Specifically\, Galois Theoretic ideas emerge across disciplines\, all as instances of a single theorem in (higher) category theory. This talk uses that idea to motivate a journey through three main themes relevant to any area: \n\nThe ubiquity of presheaf localizations\nThe concept of a classifying object\nThe pervasiveness of Algebro-Geometric duality\n\nIn some parts\, I will use categorical-theoretic language not with the expectation that people speak the language\, but rather as a demonstration of the beauty of the perspective gained by acquiring fluency. (What better way to motivate oneself to learn a new language than to listen to some of its poetry?) \nThis talk also serves as an onboarding for those interested in research projects on this topic. Though the talk should also inspire those who have no interest in category-theoretic research.

Boundaries of groups are examples of such objects. In this talk we will look at boundaries of (relatively) hyperbolic groups and see how their topology is directly related to algebraic properties of groups. This expository talk is meant to be an entry point for the audience to explore geometric group theory and no prior knowledge except basic topology is needed.

After a primer on modeling considerations and the equations at issue\, we discuss the weak solution theory developed by Leslie and Tan via using a sticky particle discretization technique pioneered by Brenier and Grenier. The special structure of the equations allows us a detailed look into the time-asymptotic behavior of the system\, including the structure of so-called “flocking states”.

It is a belief-driven one. This interactive conversation will explore how instructor beliefs and instructional identities shape how we design tasks\, structure class sessions\, and respond to student thinking. Participants will examine strategies for supporting small-group collaboration that work (even in less-than-ideal physical spaces) while also reflecting on how mathematical joy broadens what feels possible for students and instructors alike. \nFacilitated by: Dr. Anne Marie Marshall \n*** \nWhat is the Community of Practice? \nThe Community of Practice is a space for everyone in the department (lecturers\, GTAs\, faculty) to come together and have chats\, professional development\, speakers\, workshops\, and more related to teaching and learning.
