Gerrymandering Ulrich Exhibition

Latest Ulrich Museum ‘Solving for X’ exhibition shines a spotlight on WSU scholar’s anti-gerrymandering work

As the recent controversy surrounding the Iowa Caucus vote count indicates, we can expect closer scrutiny of our electoral process as this presidential election cycle heats up. Fortunately, a ϱ researcher is already looking at ways to address one of our most controversial electoral practices: redrawing political districts.

Every 10 years, districts across the nation are redrawn to reflect changes in the U.S. Census. Of course, with that redrawing comes the temptation to “gerrymander,” the term given to redrawing districts in order to benefit the people drawing the maps.

Brian Amos, assistant professor of Political Science at WSU, dedicates his work to improving the algorithms available to researchers and activists seeking to prevent gerrymandering. He does this by identifying bias in existing approaches that may skew measurements in how gerrymandered a map is, and by incorporating Voting Rights Act protections for racial and ethnic minority groups into algorithms created for other countries without those protections.

Thanks to Amos' participation in the Ulrich Museum of Art's “Solving for X” exhibition series, you can now see large, wall-size visualizations of his research and take in media coverage — both humorous and serious — examining the issue. Amos’ exhibition, “Solving for X=Representation: Slaying the Gerrymander,” will be on display at the Ulrich until June 28.

Read more on Ulrich exhibition.

“Solving for X” is a series of exhibitions organized by the Ulrich in collaboration with university scholars across campus. The intent of the museum is to work with WSU scholars in all disciplines to create visualizations of their research. The objective is to explore the potential for the museum to make accessible to the public the fascinating and important research taking place on campus.

Ulrich Museum Director Leslie Brothers said the museum is always on the lookout for innovative research to showcase. If you are interested in being considered for a future exhibition, contact Brothers at leslie.brothers@wichita.edu

The Ulrich Museum of Art on the ϱ campus is free and open to the public. Museum hours are 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday; and 1-5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Closed Mondays and University and Major holidays.
