Queerbaiting: Unpacking a problematic past
Dyson College of Arts and Science
What is queerbaiting, exactly?
In an interview with USA Today, Melvin Williams, professor of communication and media studies at Pace University, summed up the concept: "Queerbaiting is a strategy used by content creators and media producers to attract queer audiences — via homoeroticism, suggestive marketing and storylines, and other symbolisms — and to insinuate queer identities and relationships between media characters and viewers."

“Not all impressions are created equal,” said Larry Chiagouris, a marketing professor at Pace University. “I’m not saying [this tactic is] not ethical or illegal, but it raises issues. If someone is trying to play a game and that’s the purpose of this interaction, they may just be eager to play the game and are not that interested in the information being shared.”

“At Pace University, we’re committed to honoring the memory of DJ Henry and to the ongoing work of social and racial justice,” said Pace President Marvin Krislov. “Social Justice Week each year provides an opportunity for our community to explore issues of injustice, social change, and anti-racism. It enables us to introduce new generations of students to DJ and his story, and it allows the Pace community to foster dialogue and take action.”
The week will kick off with a candlelight vigil in New York City hosted by the Black Student Union. It will continue with a fundraiser for the DJ Henry Dream Fund at The Elisabeth Haub School of Law and culminate on Saturday, October 29 with a ceremony retiring DJ’s football jersey at Pace’s football stadium.
Throughout the week, there will also be original programming of more than 35 events focusing on a broad range of topics, such as social justice in sports; a fundraiser for victims of Hurricane Fiona; a discussion of housing stability and tenant protections with New York State Senator Brian Kavanagh; a slavery and resistance walking tour; a film screening of “The True Cost,” a film about the social and environmental costs of fast fashion; a discussion on combating food insecurity; and a presentation on the history of mental health and self-care within the Black community. A full schedule of events is available.
“Social Justice Week is a part of Pace University’s commitment to working towards being an anti-racist institution,” said Todd Smith-Bergollo, senior associate dean for students. “Social Justice Week helps foster education and advocacy for our students, faculty and staff, and the greater community and we are grateful to all those whose hard work makes this week possible and to all who are participating in the programs offered.”

OK, a couple more quick hits before I go. Sebastian Junger, the New York Times bestselling author of Freedom, Tribe, and The Perfect Storm, will speak at Pace University’s Pleasantville campus at 6 p.m. on Thursday, November 10. My former journalist colleague at The Journal News, Jerry McKinstry, alerted me to the event. Former reporters/editors almost always make the best PR people. Jerry does a fantastic job representing Pace in that capacity because he possesses a journalist’s eye for good stories. You know if Jerry pitches you, it’s worth more than a listen. The event, called “Sebastian Junger: In Conversation with Pace University,” is being held in connection with the University’s Veteran’s Day festivities. Registration is required as space is limited.
“Since my early years as a reporter, I’ve been a student and admirer of Sebastian Junger’s impressive collection of works,” McKinstry stated. “There’s a lot of ground to cover and I know the Pace community is excited to welcome him to our campus for what we expect will be an interesting discussion and insightful evening.”

Trump's company faces criminal tax trial as his legal woes mount
Elisabeth Haub School of Law
The fact that the Trump Organization kept making off-the-books payments for so many years could help prosecutors show it intended to violate tax laws, a key element of proving its guilt to the jury, said Bridget Crawford, a law professor at Pace University in New York focusing on income tax and corporations. "Failure to report once might be a mistake. Failure to report over a period of time is fraud," Crawford added. "If you know of your tax obligations - which all experienced and savvy people do - and consciously disregard them, that is intent to defraud the government."

On Wednesday, October 19, Taylor Mangus ’23, Political Science, was featured on a panel on “Disarmament Education as a Solution to Peace” at the United Nations as part of the #Leaders4Tomorrow event (PDF). Mangus—who was joined on the panel by leaders such as Chair of the UN General Assembly First Committee Ambassador Mohan Pieris of Sri Lanka and Ambassador Thomas Goebel of Germany—spoke about taking courses on disarmament at Pace and interning with the Costa Rican ambassador.
Last fall, Mangus was instrumental in preparing a statement that her classmate Jeremiah Williams ’23, delivered to the United Nations General Assembly First Committee as part of a course taught by Professor of Political Science Matthew Bolton, PhD. This year, Molly Rosaaen ’22, Political Science, presented a statement prepared by five of her peers in Bolton’s class, just a week before Mangus spoke on the panel. Bolton joined Mangus at this year’s event, and 20 students from his class on disarmament attended as part of a class trip.
