TRIADS Race, Technology, Equity, and Justice Meeting: Talk by Professor Ari Stern

After every decennial Census, political districts are redrawn to reflect the shifting population. Exactly how the lines are drawn can have huge political consequences, and efforts to manipulate the process through "gerrymandering" are nearly as old as redistricting itself. Professor Ari Stern will discuss some novel mathematical and computational tools that are being used to analyze districting plans to combat gerrymandering.
