The video "Words of women in mathematics in the time of Corona" collects words of some 86 women in mathematics from 37 countries telling us about their experience in the time of Corona in 25 different languages.
It will be launched on May 12th, date of the anniversary of Maryam Mirzakhani's birthday, which celebrates worldwide women in mathematics (https://may12.womeninmaths.org/)
This project emanates from a group of mathematicians, Sonia Mahmoudi (Tohoku U., Japan), Claudia Malvenuto (U. di Roma La Sapienza, Italy), Sylvie Paycha (U. Potsdam, Germany) and Eriko Shinkawa (Tohoku U., Japan) after informal conversations about their experiences during the pandemic. This video is a follow up of the film "Faces of Women in Mathematics” (https://vimeo.com/259039018) with whose authors, the mathematician Eugenie Hunsicker (U. of Loughborough, England) and the filmmaker Irina Linke, we have brought this new project to life.
