Piper Harron: How to Become a Liberated Mathematician in 13 Painful Years

Piper Harron never wanted to be liberated. She would have much preferred to be conventionally successful, living by other people's standards. Though she tried, she couldn't make herself fit. You could say she has some complaints. Now she has a story to tell. A story of failure and how sometimes failure is the same as leadership.

Piper Harron earned her PhD in mathematics from Princeton University in January of 2016. What is more interesting is that she started in 2003, left in 2009, stopped working and had her first child in 2011, and had her second child in 2014. Her PhD thesis has received recognition for its humorous style and blunt social commentary (Spoiler alert: math culture is oppressive). She is currently a Temporary Assistant Professor at UH Manoa.
