Midwest Topology Seminar
The Midwest Topology Seminar
has run since the middle 1960's, meeting
Fall, Winter and Spring of most years.
Originating in the desire of topologists
in Chicago in the mid 1960s to meet to discuss
recent developments, it grew into a meeting of
algebraic and geometric topologists from the whole great lakes,
upper midwest, region, regularly drawing participants from
Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ontario, Ohio,
Kentucky, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Kansas.
Speakers are drawn from around the world, though,
naturally, the majority come from the region.
It is an especially useful way for students to make
useful contacts.
Upcoming meetings
- The
Fall 2013 meeting
of the Midwest Topology Seminar will be held at
Wayne State University.
Details will be announced as they become available.
- Self-nominations are welcome for the Winter 2014 and Spring 2014 meetings.

Still to come
This page is primarily
intended as an easy way for people
to find the date, location and schedule of the next meeting,
but it also serves to
preserve some of the history as well.
If you have suggestions, or things to contribute, please contact

Other things which might go here are:
- An archive of past meetings.
I have what can be gleaned from Larry Taylor's MWTOPSEM archive, but
that only goes back to 1994.
It would be nice to get copies of the schedule of talks from early
meetings. If you have such, I can scan them if they are in good condition, or
find someone to transcribe them, if not.
- Something about the history of the Midwest Topology Seminar, as it
is a rather unique non-institution.
- Directions to the meeting sites. (After a few rounds this ought
to be pretty complete, and serve as an easy way to find directions to
any department in the midwest with algebraic topologists in it.)
- Pointers to other algebraic topology web pages.
