This is an exposition in three screencasts of the topological proof of Grushko's Theorem due to Stallings. I made this several years ago when teaching a similar course.

21.1: Stallings topological proof of Grushkos theorem I: Statement and idea

21.2: Stallings topological proof of Grushkos theorem II : Binding ties

21.3: Stallings topological proof of Grushkos theorem III : Construction of Binding ties
