Gerrymandering, or more broadly legislative redistricting, is almost unique as a focus of geographic inquiry in that a typical young adult will (a) know what it is, (b) recognize it as geography, and (c) think it is important. These qualities make redistricting an excellent choice for drawing students into the discipline of geography while offering them jumping-off points to explore a wide range of topics in future courses. In this article, the author sets out to make the case for teaching redistricting as an introductory course in geography suitable for advanced high school or first-year university students. They structure their argument based on the material covered in a first-year honors seminar at Penn State University. Ultimately, the study of redistricting creates innumerable opportunities to introduce students to the ways that geography is insightful and impactful as a method for examining the world.
