Topographies<\/em> is the Geography and Environmental Studies Seminar Series. Speakers are invited to present their research to an audience of graduate students, faculty, and other interested affiliates, on topics related to one of our various fields: environmental and climate change studies; human or physical geography; and geomatics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were drawn to the name Topographies <\/em>as it works both materially (as arrangements of physical or natural features on the surface of the Earth, represented on a map or chart) and metaphorically (as aspects or nuances of an idea or theory). Formerly the Founders Seminar <\/em>(2000-2024), named in honour of founding departmental members from the 1950s, \u201860s, and \u201870s, Topographies<\/em> represents the next chapter of our efforts to build a community of scholars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seminars will be held in person in Loeb A220 from 2:30pm \u2013 4pm on Wednesdays, unless specified otherwise in the schedule below.<\/span> <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Geography and Environmental Studies Departmental Seminar Series is committed to accessibility for persons with disabilities. Please send requests for accommodation to Nika Linseman<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
