{{short description|Lecture series established by the Association for Women in Mathematics}}
The '''Noether Lecture''' is a distinguished lecture series that honors women "who have made fundamental and sustained contributions to the mathematical sciences". The [[Association for Women in Mathematics]] (AWM) established the annual lectures in 1980 as the [[Emmy Noether]] Lectures, in honor of one of the leading mathematicians of her time. In 2013 it was renamed the AWM-AMS Noether Lecture and since 2015 is sponsored jointly with the [[American Mathematical Society]] (AMS). The recipient delivers the lecture at the yearly American [[Joint Mathematics Meetings]] held in January.<ref name=NoetherAWM>{{cite web |title=Noether Lecture |url=https://awm-math.org/awards/noether-lectures/ |publisher=Association for Women in Mathematics |accessdate=23 December 2018}}</ref>
The '''ICM Emmy Noether Lecture''' is an additional lecture series, sponsored by the [[International Mathematical Union]]. Beginning in 1994 this lecture was delivered at the [[International Congress of Mathematicians]], held every four years. In 2010 the lecture series was made permanent.<ref>{{cite web |title=ICM Emmy Noether Lecture |url=http://www.mathunion.org/activities/icm/emmy-noether-lecture/ |publisher=International Mathematical Union |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170805195846/https://www.mathunion.org/activities/icm/emmy-noether-lecture/ |archive-date=5 August 2017 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
The 2021 Noether Lecture was supposed to have been given by [[Andrea Bertozzi]] of [[UCLA]], but it was cancelled. The cancellation was made during the [[George Floyd protests]]: "This decision comes as many of this nation rise up in protest over racial discrimination and brutality by police".<ref name=Bertozzi>[https://awm-math.org/re-2021-noether-lecture/ Re: 2021 Noether Lecture]</ref> Although she intended to speak on other topics, Bertozzi is known for research on the mathematics of policing,<ref>{{cite journal
