The department hosts a number of different events:
Colloquium Series
Colloquia range from presentations by UWM faculty, geography graduate students, visiting speakers, roundtables for professional development; and field trips. We are grateful to the American Geographical Society Library for allowing us to host speakers in their space.
Most colloquium series presentations are held in the American Geographical Society Library, 3rd floor, Golda Meir Library. Some events will be virtual or in other locations. Colloquia are on Fridays from 3:00 to 4:00 pm unless otherwise noted. View our current schedule of events.
Harold & Florence Mayer Lecture Series
This lecture series is made possible by an endowment from Harold and Florence Mayer. Harold Mayer (1916–1994) was a Professor of Geography at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and one of the leading scholars in the field of urban geography in the twentieth century. He specialized in Urban and Transport Geography of North America with a focus on New York, Chicago, Milwaukee, and British Columbia.
