Americas Forum
The Americas Forum event series at Georgetown University aims to bring innovative perspectives to understanding the United States and the diversity within its borders, to engaging the diverse peoples, nations, and communities across the Americas, and to exploring the accelerating movement of peoples and visions across borders—and across the hemisphere. In this spirit, the Americas Forum, coordinated by John Tutino, Professor of History, appointed in the College of Arts & Sciences and in the School of Foreign Service, is pleased to collaborate with the Georgetown Americas Institute and the Center for Latin American Studies to host the following events.
Some of these events will be streamed to the GAI YouTube channel.

Mexican Watchdogs: The Rise of a Critical Press since the 1980s
This event will feature Andrew Paxman, leading analyst of contemporary Mexican power and politics. While Mexican correspondent for The Financial Times, he co-authored El Tigre: Emilio Ascarraga y su imperio de televisa (Grijalbo 2000). As a professor of history, he has published Jenkins of Mexico: How a Southern Farm Boy Became a Mexican Magnate (2017) and now Mexican Watchdogs: The Rise of a Critical Press since the 1980s (2025). Paxman will be joined in conversation with Victoria Seki-Serna, a doctoral student in the Department of History at Georgetown University, and Professor John Tutino, director of the Americas Forum.
