Research In the News
Pamela Krayenbuhl, associate professor of film and media studies at UW Tacoma, recently spoke with Dance Magazine about why movement works so well in short-form media, and what our fascination with dance says about culture, identity and connection.
As artificial intelligence moves from buzzword to public policy challenge, UW Tacoma's Arthur Jago is helping make sense of what comes next. The Milgard School of Business associate professor recently joined TVW's Inside Olympia podcast to discuss how AI is reshaping government operations, public trust and civic decision-making.
The selection follows a competitive request for qualifications and proposals process that attracted multiple teams interested in partnering with the university on the first major project to move forward under its campus master plan.
