DESCRIPTION:The manifold calculus of Goodwillie and Weiss proposes to redu
 ce questions about embedding spaces of manifolds to questions about mappin
 g spaces of the (little-disks modules of) configuration spaces of points o
 n those manifolds. We will discuss real models for these configuration spa
 ces. Furthermore\, we will see that a real version of the aforementioned m
 apping spaces is computable in terms of graph complexes. In particular\, t
 his yields a new tool to study diffeomorphism groups and moduli spaces.<br
