This volume collects the proceedings of the conference "Topological Methods in Group Theory", held at Ohio State University in 2014 in honor of Ross Geoghegan's 70th birthday. It consists of eleven peer-reviewed papers on some of the most recent developments at the interface of topology and geometri...
