AAG 's Vermont Redistricting Panel

3:30 PM ET

Sponsored by:: Geography

Panel Discussion on Redistricting in Vermont, Hosted by The Department of Geography

As Vermont only has one congressional district, this panel will speak to the various scales at which the redistricting process happens. Panel will speak about redistricting and gerrymandering at the federal level (by contextualizing Vermont within neighboring Massachusetts, New York, and Pennsylvania), as well as spark a conversation about school district and statehouse redistricting (with a more localized, Vermont specific focus).
