Abstract: We compute the Z/ell and ell-adic monodromy of every irreducible component of the moduli space M_g^f of curves of genus and and p-rank f. In particular, we prove that the Z/ell-monodromy of every component of M_g^f is the symplectic group Sp_{2g}(Z/ell) if g>=3 and ell is a prime distinct from p. We give applications to the generic behavior of automorphism groups, Jacobians, class groups, and zeta functions of curves of given genus and p-rank.
