Our Hot Topic for December will be redistricting, a process that occurs the year after a census. This is an area that the LWV has picked for national focus in 2020-2021.  Earlier in the fall League leaders from around the country gathered to discuss their state’s role in advancing redistricting reform.

In order to stay in front of this issue, our speaker for December is Professor Bruce Oppenheimer, who will discuss redistricting from both a national and state level perspective.  He is a well respected scholar from the Department of Political Science at Vanderbilt, having served as an American Political Science Association Congressional Fellow, a Brookings Institution Fellow and Guest Scholar.  He has written extensively about Congressional issue. He obtained his graduate training at the University of Wisconsin.
