Seifert-fibrations are important structures in 3-manifold topology. We introduce the concept of spaces of Seifert fiberings and explain their connection to Smale-type theorems in differential topology. We then state some recent results about homotopy types of such spaces. Warning: Gluck twists will be involved.
