DESCRIPTION:Geometric Invariant Theory (GIT) is a powerful theory for cons
 tructing and studying the geometry of moduli spaces in algebraic geometry.
  In this talk I will give an overview of a recent generalisation of GIT ca
 lled Non-Reductive GIT\, and explain how it can be used to construct and s
 tudy the geometry of new moduli spaces. These include moduli spaces of uns
 table objects (for example unstable Higgs/vector bundles)\, hypersurfaces 
 in weighted projective space\, k-jets of curves in C^n and curve singulari
 ties.
