Winter 2024 - This course is really for those who really love to study voting rights - it is challenging, but a challenge that nerds like me really enjoyed. Professor Barreto (and Professor Dunn) were incredibly generous with their time and talents, and are some of the smartest folks around when it comes to this stuff. Very few folks get to take this course, and if you're invited and love to help advance equality while engaging in meaningful research, you should jump at the opportunity.
