Swarthmore College (Philadelphia)
A workshop on Generalized Geometry will be held on Saturday September 17 and Sunday September 18 at Swarthmore College. The aim of this workshop is to bring together mathematicians and physicists working in odd and even dimensional aspects of generalized geometry in order to consolidate what is known and chart possible avenues of investigation. Students interested in differential geometry or string theory are warmly invited to attend as well.
