Every year, the Department of Psychology hosts a colloquium series and various other events. We request that each presenter allow us to record their presentation for individuals who are unable to attend.
Recordings that we have approval to fully release are available on our Department of Psychology Colloquia YouTube Playlist (up to 5 years of presentations).
Note: We are currently transitioning our content to the YouTube Playlist. Until this process is complete, all previous recordings will remain linked below.
For recordings restricted to UMN individuals, we have provided links below that require a UMN login.
