30 Jan - 1 Feb 2009
Los Angeles CA, U.S.A.

There will be a Very Informal Gathering of Logicians at UCLA, from
January 30 to February 1, 2009. This is the fifteenth in a series of
logic meetings at UCLA that began in 1976.

In part, this meeting is organized to honor John Steel on the occasion
of his sixtieth birthday. Its focus is on areas of logic related to
Steel's work, including descriptive set theory, inner models, recursion
theory, reverse mathematics, and philosophy of mathematics. Invited
speakers include: G. Hjorth, A. Louveau, P. Maddy, A. Miller, W.
Mitchell, I. Neeman, S. Simpson, T. Slaman, and W.H. Woodin.

Travel grants to attend the gathering are available for graduate
students and junior faculty members without federal research grants;
mathematicians from underrepresented groups are especially encouraged to
apply.
