The course is devoted to the concept of an infinity
category. In the first session, Rosanna Laking will guide us
through the video of an introductory lecture by Emily Riehl.
Next, we will review the notion of a model category and discuss
some motivating examples from algebraic topology. Then we will
read some chapters of the book "Higher Categories and
Homotopical Algebra" by Denis-Charles Cisinski. Finally, there
will be a lecture series delivered by Gustavo Jasso from the
University of Bonn.
