# AWM/MAA Falconer Lecturer

A Etta Z. Falconer Lecture é uma série de prêmios e palestras que honorifica "mulheres que fizeram contribuições de distinção para as ciências matemáticas ou educação matemática". É patrocinada pela Association for Women in Mathematics (AWM) e pela Mathematical Association of America (MAA). As lectures começaram em 1996 e foram nomeadas em memória da matemática Etta Zuber Falconer em 2004 "in memory of Falconer's profound vision and accomplishments in enhancing the movement of minorities and women into scientific careers". As recipientes apresentam uma lecture na MathFest a cada verão.
