Join us tomorrow, Monday, September 23, 11:15 a.m.–noon in Kathryn Mohrman Theatre for the Block 2 First Monday event, “Colorado in Context: Democracy, Representation, Fairness, and Math.” Associate Professor Beth Malmskog will discuss how math can help identify and prevent partisan gerrymandering and share her research group’s work for fair maps in Colorado’s 2021 redistricting process. She will also look briefly at what mathematics can say about other ways to pursue better representation, including alternative voting methods and multi-member districts. Math can offer surprising insights into democracy and fairness.

This event is sponsored by the Department of Political Science, and is the first event in the 2024 Sondermann Presidential Symposium: Democracy in This Moment. Thank you to the Fred A. Sondermann Memorial Fund, Marianne Lannon Lopat Memorial Lecture Fund, and McHugh Fund for their generous support of this event. For more information, visit our webpage.
