Workshop Title:
Redistricting: The Shapes of Democracy
Date: Tuesday, October 8th
Time: 6:30 - 8:00pm, EST (via Zoom)
Presenter: Kyle Evans, Assumption University
Description: Are we choosing our elected officials, or are they choosing us? Every ten years following the Census, states must redraw their district maps, and this process is often manipulated to benefit those in power. Mathematicians have intervened with various approaches to "fair" maps, and we provide this context along with an introduction to a mapping program.
