Voting Rights in NC – Upcoming EmpowerHer Tuesdays Program
The next offering of the EmpowerHer Tuesdays series will be Tuesday, April 28th, at 7 pm.
Michael Bitzer, PhD, is a professor of both Politics and History and the Politics Department Chair at Catawba College in Salisbury, NC. He is the author of the book, Redistricting and Gerrymandering in North Carolina: Battlelines in the Tar Heel State.
Dr. Bitzer’s research interests center in Southern politics, North Carolina politics, campaigns & elections, and voter behavior. He also directs Catawba’s Center for North Carolina Politics & Public Service, which oversees the Catawba-YouGov Surveys of North Carolinians.
In 2021, Dr. Bitzer authored the book, Redistricting and Gerrymandering in North Carolina: Battlelines in the Tar Heel State, which explores the past forty years of politics and litigation over one of the most partisan activities in American politics. In this study, Bitzer explores each decade, since the 1980s, of lawsuits and partisanship when it comes to drawing both congressional and state legislative district lines.
Dr. Bitzer will share his expertise on voting rights in NC with AAUW members and friends. We hope you will join us for this important and timely presentation. Questions may be submitted in advance to programs@aauwnc.org.

View the webinar: Title IX and Beyond: Defending Civil Rights in Education
The promise of Title IX is under real pressure. Shifting interpretations, political backlash, and scrutiny of schools that support transgender students, are reshaping how Title IX is enforced. This webinar will offer a clear, accessible look at what Title IX is, what’s changing, what to watch next, and how communities can support safe, equitable learning environments.
