The Enhancing Diversity in Graduate Education (EDGE) Program began
twenty years ago to provide support for women entering doctoral
programs in the mathematical sciences. With a steadfast commitment
to diversity among participants, faculty, and staff, EDGE initially
alternated between Bryn Mawr and Spelman Colleges. In later years,
EDGE has been hosted on campuses around the nation and expanded to
offer support for women throughout their graduate school and
professional careers. The refereed papers in A Celebration of the
EDGE Program's Impact on the Mathematics Community and Beyond range
from short memoirs, to pedagogical studies, to current mathematics
research. All papers are written by former EDGE participants,
mentors, instructors, directors, and others connected to EDGE.
Together, these papers offer compelling testimony that EDGE has
produced a diverse new generation of leaders in the mathematics
community. This volume contains technical and non-technical works,
and it is intended for a far-reaching audience, including
mathematicians, mathematics teachers, diversity officers,
university administrators, government employees writing educational
or science policy, and mathematics students at the high school,
college, and graduate levels. By highlighting the scope of the work
done by those supported by EDGE, the volume offers strong evidence
of the American Mathematical Society's recognition that EDGE is "a
program that makes a difference." This volume offers unique
testimony that a 20-year old summer program has expanded its reach
beyond the summer experience to produce a diverse new generation of
women leaders, nearly half of whom are underrepresented women.
While some books with a women-in-math theme focus only on one topic
such as research or work-life balance, this book's broad scope
includes papers on mathematics research, teaching, outreach, and
career paths.
