“Counted Out” investigates the biggest crises of our time — racism, political polarization, economic inequity, a global pandemic, climate change — through the unexpected lens of math. This striking documentary exposes systemic inequities that weaponize math as a gatekeeper. And shines a light on math as the foundation of democracy and economic opportunity that allows everyone to fully participate in this fast moving society.

The Department of Mathematics & Applied Mathematics will host screening of the film "Counted Out" by Vicki Abeles. There will be an after film discussion with faculty and members of the audience. This is a public event and the film is appropriate for all ages.
