[gov3009-l] Lewis on "The Compactness of Congressional Districts"

Hi all, We hope that you can join us for the penultimate Applied Statistics Workshop of the year this Wednesday, April 20th. This week we are extremely excited to have Jeffrey Lewis, Associate Professor of Political Science at UCLA, presenting on the compactness of congressional districts, a topic that involves some interesting econometric issues as well as a large GiS component. Note that this is a change from what is on the schedule. As usual, we will start the workshop at 12 noon with a light lunch and begin the talk at 12:15. We wrap up the workshop at 1:30pm. "A study of Congressional district compactness, 1789-2011" Jeffrey B. Lewis Department of Political Science, UCLA CGIS K354 (1737 Cambridge St) Wednesday, April 20th, 12 noon.
