DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/McGillGGT/8/
 ">RAAGs in MCGs</a>\nby Ian Runnels (University of Virginia) as part of Mc
 Gill geometric group theory seminar\n\n\nAbstract\nWe give a new proof of 
 a theorem of Koberda which says that right-angled Artin subgroups of mappi
 ng class groups abound. This alternative approach uses the hierarchical st
 ructure of the curve complex\, which allows for more explicit computations
 . Time permitting\, we will also discuss some applications to the theory o
 f convex cocompactness in mapping class groups.\n
