Abstract: The mapping class group

G a m m a^{k} (N_{g})

of a non-orientable surface with punctures is studied via classical homotopy theory of configuration spaces. In particular, we obtain a non-orientable version of the Birman exact sequence. In the case of

m a t h b b R {m P}^{2}

, we analize the Serre spectral sequence of a fiber bundle

F_{k} (m a t h b b R {m P}^{2}) / S i g m a_{k} o X_{k} o B S O (3)

where

X_{k}

is a

K (G a m m a^{k} (m a t h b b R {m P}^{2}), 1)

and

F_{k} (m a t h b b R {m P}^{2}) / S i g m a_{k}

denotes the configuration space of unordered

k

-tuples of distinct points in

m a t h b b R {m P}^{2}

. As a consequence, we express the mod-2 cohomology of

G a m m a^{k} (m a t h b b R {m P}^{2})

in terms of that of

F_{k} (m a t h b b R {m P}^{2}) / S i g m a_{k}

.
