I will introduce a version of algebraic symplectic geometry
that is suitable for dealing with singular or stacky spaces. I will
explain how this generalization arises naturally in the study of
moduli spaces and will outline the connections to ordinary symplectic
geometry. I will also give interesting examples and will describe a
several non-trivial constructions of shifted symplectic structures.
This is a joint work with Toen, Vaquie, and Vezzosi.
