Beginning in 2004, the Department of Geography at UW-Madison has participated in the series. Faculty coordinators have been Jamie Peck (2004), Madeline Wong (2005), and Leila M. Harris (2006). The seminar meets at the Pyle Center on Langdon Street for interactive, live satellite presentations from geographers at universities in the United Kingdom (Bristol, Leeds, Manchester, Sheffield, Southampton), the United States (Madison-Wisconsin, Illinois-Urbana Champaign, Penn State) and Europe (Oslo).

This year the theme of the seminar series is 'Disciplinary Edges and Futures'. This will involve 'state of the field' presentations on the relationships between human geography and cognate domains in the sciences, social sciences and humanities.

All presentations are viedotaped and archived. If you would like to view more details of the current program or access the archived material please send an email to the WUN coordinator requesting access.
