Special Session "New Directions in Category Theory"? - Call for Speakers October 16-18, 2014, the Fall 2014 AMS Eastern Sectional Meeting is held in Halifax, NS. We are organizing a special session entitled "New directions in category theory" and would like to invite those who are interested in speaking to contact us. It will be helpful for us if you include a title, but that is not necessary. Unfortunately, the AMS does not provide travel funds for speakers, but there is travel funding for graduate students (and a reduced registration rate) so we encourage any interested graduate students to attend this meeting (and give talks!). The website with further details (including the application procedure and deadline) about this funding is http://www.ams.org/student-travel. Since we don't expect people to want to travel out east twice this October we have decided that this session will replace the Octoberfest in Category Theory for this year, and we will plan a dinner for the participants in this session on Saturday evening.
