This volume contains the proceedings of the Alpine Algebraic and Applied Topology Conference, held from August 15–21, 2016, in Saas-Almagell, Switzerland. The papers cover a broad range of topics in modern algebraic topology, including the theory of highly structured ring spectra, infinity-categories and Segal spaces, equivariant homotopy theory, algebraic $K$-theory and topological cyclic, periodic, or Hochschild homology, intersection cohomology, and symplectic topology.

This volume contains the proceedings of the conference on Manifolds, $K$-Theory, and Related Topics, held from June 23–27, 2014, in Dubrovnik, Croatia. The articles contained in this volume are a collection of research papers featuring recent advances in homotopy theory, $K$-theory, and their applications to manifolds. Topics covered include homotopy and manifold calculus, structured spectra, and their applications to group theory and the geometry of manifolds. This volume is a tribute to the influence of Tom Goodwillie in these fields.

This volume contains the proceedings of the WIT: Women in Topology workshop, held from August 18–23, 2013, at the Banff International Research Station, Banff, Alberta, Canada. The Women in Topology workshop was devoted primarily to active collaboration by teams of five to seven participants, each including senior and junior researchers, as well as graduate students. This volume contains papers based on the results obtained by team projects in homotopy theory, including $A$-infinity structures, equivariant homotopy theory, functor calculus, model categories, orbispaces, and topological Hochschild homology.

This volume contains the proceedings of the Fourth Arolla Conference on Algebraic Topology, which took place in Arolla, Switzerland, from August 20–25, 2012. The papers in this volume cover topics such as category theory and homological algebra, functor homology, algebraic $K$-theory, cobordism categories, group theory, generalized cohomology theories and multiplicative structures, the theory of iterated loop spaces, Smith–Toda complexes, and topological modular forms.

The subject of colonialism encompasses a multitude of analytic concerns about the nature and extent of political controls, economic inequalities, and social hierarchies. Underlying the varied conditions of power and subordination are the diverse, sometimes contested representations of human difference that motivate, support, or question colonial practices and projects. Unstable Images concentrates a critical gaze on this discursive side of colonialism through close readings of a series of Western texts on the people of New Ireland from the 1870s to the 1930s--when the status of the New Ireland-New Britain region changed from precolonial to German control and finally to a League of Nations mandated Australian administration.
