Race, Redistricting, Voting Rights Act: Reflections and Projections of Louisiana v. Callais

This event is focused around the recent oral arguments in Louisiana v. Callais. In particular, we hope to discuss legacies of the Reconstruction amendments and voting rights act, and how this case could create significant change in voting and access to meaningful representation. We also hope to discuss concurrent efforts of redistricting in states like Missouri, California, and Texas. 

We have two featured speakers, Nicholas Stephanopoulos, a law professor at Harvard who wrote an amicus brief for the case and studies election law, and Guy-Uriel Charles, who studies race and election law extensively.
