This will figure into two important cases in the coming term. Affirmative action and the Voting Rights Act are both in the balance. Dr. Duchin will discuss the legal contours of colorblindness and will focus on the case study knows best: race-blind redistricting. Moon Duchin is an Associate Professor of Mathematics at Tufts University. In addition to geometric group theory and geometric topology, Dr. Duchin studies the mathematics of redistricting, and mathematical interventions for racial justice.
