Admission is free. The Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy at the University of Michigan will host a special showing of Gerrymandering: The Movie. Writer/director Jeff Reichert will be present to talk about the film and answer questions. The movie addresses the issue of gerrymandering of political districts and the effects it has on the American political scene. A panel discussion including Professor of Public Policy John Chamberlin and other invited guests will take place after the screening.

The lecture will focus on the concept of access to knowledge (A2K) to explain and interrogate the current global policy debates on intellectual property rights (IPR) pitting high-income countries (HICs) against low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
