I'm organising a series of online public maths talks through @NCLMathsStats to be delivered by disabled presenters, taking place this December.
Talks can be any mathy topic, or about your experience as a disabled mathematician.
I need speakers: dm me if interested!

@NCLMathsStats To give some idea of what I'm looking for, I'll use myself as an example.
I count myself disabled at least four ways: I'm colourblind, autistic, dyspraxic, and have Ehlers-Danlos.
I might talk about:
In reply to @christianp
@NCLMathsStats 1) use of colour in mathematical communication; how red chalk makes chalk-and-talks inaccessible
2) how ambiguously-worded maths problems have stymied me in the past, and how to write them more clearly
3) the word problem in group theory, which is just something I'm interested in
In reply to @christianp
@NCLMathsStats This came about because I and some other disabled people who do maths talks got tired of missing out on opportunities to do outreach because it involves travelling.
If you're interested in taking part, either dm me or email christian.perfect@ncl.ac.uk
