This panel will focus on Connecticut's redistricting process and how it has impacted equity and representation in the state over time. Panelists will explore the intersectionality of geography, mathematics, political science, and law in the process of drawing fair maps. Attendees will also become familiar with how to use Dave’s Redistricting App, explore how GIS can be used to draw fair districts, and gain valuable knowledge to get involved in Connecticut's redistricting process this year. When it comes to the fight for fair redistricting, there is no one better equipped than a geographer. By activating our collective power as a community and pressing to have a geographer in the room in every state, we can set new expectations this year and show why geospatial thinkers are indispensable.
