Who gets to govern? How do we choose? In a big, complicated country with a rich spectrum of identities and political preferences, we have many decisions to make about systems and structures for making every vote count towards meaningful representation.
Join visiting scholar Moon Duchin, professor at Tufts University, for a presentation on some of the past and future of data science for civil rights, featuring stories from collisions of math, geography, law, and policy in contemporary American elections. Her presentation will be followed by a talk-back and audience Q&A moderated by David Uminsky, executive director of the University of Chicago Data Science Institute.
This is an event of Data & Democracy, a joint initiative from the University of Chicago’s Center for Effective Government and Data Science Institute. The event is open to the general public but seats are limited; advance registration is required. Refreshments will be served.
