About:

The British Society for the History of Mathematics, the International Centre for Mathematical Sciences, the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications, the Isaac Newton Institute, the London Mathematical Society, and the Mathematical Association held a two day conference on Black Heroes of Mathematics.

The Vision of the conference was “To celebrate the inspirational contributions of black role models to the field of Mathematics and Mathematics Education”. There was a balance of technical talks by internationally renowned black speakers that included some detail of career paths and experience to provide a testimonial dimension.  The committee strived to showcase a balance of career stage and gender when developing the programme.
