Let me remind all people on the category list that a boycott of all conferences held in the US is being proposed and I will not go to any.

The goal of the workshop is to bring together advanced graduate students and postdocs having some background in one (or more) areas such as algebraic topology, category theory, mathematical logic, or computer science, with the goal of learning how these areas come together in homotopy type theory, and working together to prove new results. Basic knowledge of just one of these areas will be sufficient to be a successful participant. The organizers are particularly interested in using this workshop as an opportunity to improve the diversity in the HoTT community in all aspects. For more information about the workshop, including the list of sample topics that participants may be working on and the registration information, please see the website: http://www.ams.org/programs/research-communities/2017MRC-1 All accepted into the program will receive financial support (room and board at the Snowbird Resort and up to $650 towards airfare). The application deadline is *March 1st, 2017.* The majority of the positions are allocated to U.S. citizens and people who are affiliated with U.S. institutions, but a smaller number are also open to international participants. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact any of the organizers.
