Geography Colloquium Series

Fall 2024

The Geography Department at UWM hosts a colloquium series on geographic topics most weeks during the semester. Colloquia range from presentations by UWM faculty, Geography graduate students, visiting speakers including our distinguished Mayer speakers; workshops on professional development; and field trips. Some of these events are coordinated with other programs on campus (see the programs included below).

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, 3^rd floor, Golda Meir Library. Some events will be virtual or in other locations.

Colloquia are on Fridays: Fall term: 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm*
