Abstract
Representation stability is a phenomenon whereby the structure of certain sequences of spaces can be seen to stabilize when viewed through the lens of representation theory. In this paper I describe this phenomenon and sketch a framework, the theory of FI-modules, that explains the mechanism behind it.
