Update on Summer Training for Mathematicians to be Expert Witnesses on Redistricting and Gerrymandering

Two weeks ago, we wrote that Tufts University will run a one-week summer course (August 7-11) to train mathematicians to be expert witnesses for court cases in electoral redistricting and gerrymandering.  This week, the Chronicle of Higher Education published a profile of Moon Duchin, the Tufts mathematics professor behind this project. Prof. Duchin is also the director of Tuft’s Science, Technology and Society program.  The first three days of the summer program will be open to the public and available online.
