A couple minutes with Kathleen Karlyn

This month's “A couple minutes with…” video interview features Kathleen Karlyn, professor of cinema studies in the UO Department of English ... and tango lover.

You haven’t danced the tango until you’ve danced it deep into the night in the milongas of Argentina. So says cinema studies professor Kathleen Karlyn, whose work abroad has also allowed her to pursue a passion for the South American dance form.  In this video interview, Karlyn describes the sights, sounds and sensuousness of dancing tango in the festive clubs of the country’s big cities.
