Description: 

I will present work-in-progress on the construction of compactifications of the moduli space of curves with A_k-singularities. These spaces conjecturally give moduli interpretations of certain log canonical models of the moduli space of curves. This is joint work with David Smyth and Fred van der Wyck.
