UW Tacoma Alumni Relations
Have you heard of @justmaiko (Michael Le) or @itzslavik (Vik White)? What about Gene Kelly or the Nicholas Brothers (Harold & Fayard Nicholas)? All of these men made names for themselves dancing on screens new and old, where masses of people have watched and rewatched recordings of them. At this talk, Dr. Krayenbuhl will discuss the models of masculinity developed by dancing men on mass media screens, as well as how these masculinities are constructed. In so doing, she will trace a throughline of screen-danced masculinity from the 1940s to the present.
Dr. Pamela Krayenbuhl (she/her) is an Associate Professor of Film & Media Studies at the University of Washington Tacoma. She is a media historian and classically-trained ballet dancer who has spent the last 10 years researching dance on screens.

LEGAL PATHWAYS LECTURE SERIES
Angel Cabrera Silva: The Right to Democracy
In a request submitted last December, Guatemala asked the Inter-American Court of Human Rights to issue an advisory opinion on the “Right to Democracy.” While the request raises multiple legal questions, the main point under consideration is whether states are required to guarantee democracy as a human right, and if so, what is the scope of protection of this right? Dr. Cabrera and colleagues are submitting an Amicus Curiae (an independent brief in support of the Guatemalan request) in early October.
This request arrives at a critical moment. Across the Americas, the legitimacy of democratic governance is rapidly deteriorating as governments slide towards authoritarianism. In this context, the Court’s opinion will impact the way international organizations and transnational networks influence the consolidation or further erosion of Latin-American democracies.
