Abstract: Mapping class groups of infinite type surfaces are not finitely generated; they are not even locally compact. Nonetheless, in many cases it is still meaningful to discuss their large scale geometry. We will explore which mapping class groups have nontrivial coarse geometry.

This is joint work with Kasra Rafi.
