Gerrymandering and Redistricting: Where, what and how the f&*k do you draw the lines?

Comedienne, musician, writer, and filmmaker Tasneem joins the “Talk Like a Girl” gals as they expand the boundaries of their knowledge on gerrymandering and redistricting with one of the founding members of the Metric Geometry and Gerrymandering Group, Tufts University professor, Dr. Mira Bernstein. Join us as we stay mostly within the subject lines with a small side track to math/meth cross-chat and some Beanie Baby therapy.
