DESCRIPTION:All mathematicians will\, eventually\, form some part of the w
 orkforce. The abstract nature of mathematics may lead us to believe that o
 ur role is 'special'\, and that we won't need to worry about the usual wor
 kplace interactions\, issues\, conflicts and dangers that may arise in oth
 er professions. This is simply not true. We face the same issues\, and nee
 d to know how to deal with them. Our focused and dedicated nature means th
 at we may easily overlook instances of others trying to exploit or manipul
 ate us at work\, resulting in harm to ourselves\, and our work becoming ha
 rmful to wider society. We need to know how to identify such people and si
 tuations\, and to protect ourselves against them.\n\nThis talk is part 7 o
 f the seminar series _Ethics in Mathematics_ hosted by the Cambridge Unive
 rsity Ethics in Mathematics Society over Michaelmas. The event will consis
 t of an interactive lecture followed by a discussion session.
