Abstract
This three lecture mini-course will assume no prior background. The first lecture will introduce translation surfaces and their moduli. The second lecture will discuss the GL(2,R) action on these moduli spaces, and the connection to dynamical problems on translation surfaces. The third lecture will discuss orbit closures for the GL(2,R) action.
