Lecture: "Statistics as a Political Weapon"  ? Speaker: Ismar Volić  Join us for an enlightening evening with Ismar Volić as we delve into the world of statistics and their powerful role in politics. While numbers often appear impartial and authoritative, they can be manipulated to distort reality rather than clarify it. From cherry-picking data and misleading graphs to faulty polling and the conflation of correlation with causation, statistics can easily become tools of propaganda.  In this gripping talk, Ismar Volić will examine how statistics are exploited in political contexts and emphasize the importance of being educated about these misuses. Through various compelling examples, he will equip us with the tools to critically analyze quantitative information and use it as a means for clarity, accountability, and democratic empowerment.  Ismar Volić is a Professor of Mathematics and the Director of the Institute for Mathematics and Democracy at Wellesley College. With a Ph.D. in mathematics from Brown University, he has lectured worldwide and authored numerous articles and books, including his latest work, Making Democracy Count. Don't miss this opportunity to enhance your understanding of statistics and their impact on democracy!
