Redistricting Advisory Council

In the fall of 2021, I served on the Redistricting Advisory Council for Governor Tom Wolf to provide guidance on the Pennsylvania congressional redistricting plan.

As part of an executive order in September, Wolf established a redistricting advisory council to provide guidance to assist his review of the congressional redistricting plan, according to a press release. Read more at: https://www.centredaily.com/news/local/article255458711.html#storylink=cpy

"Of the six members of the council, two are affiliated with Penn State — Lee Ann Banaszak is head of the department of political science and professor of political science and women’s, gender and sexuality studies and Christopher Fowler is associate professor of geography and director of the Peter R. Gould Center for Geography Education and Outreach. They, along with other members of the council, have been holding listening sessions to gather public input on congressional redistricting, with Monday’s stop marking the sixth session since mid-October."

CSPAN Women's Suffrage Movement

I reflected on the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage and talked about the tactics women used to get the 19th Amendment passed and ratified. This interview was recorded at the Organization of American Historians annual meeting in Philadelphia.
