Console-ing Passions 2010
Conference on Television,
Audio, Video, New Media,
and Feminism
Founded by a group of feminist media scholars and artists,
Console-ing Passions creates collegial spaces for scholarship
and other creative work on culture, identity, gender, and sexuality
in television and related media. Since 1992, Console-ing
Passions conferences have supported new research on a myriad
of feminist perspectives related to the study of television, digital,
and aural media.
A Word from the Co-chairs
When we began planning CP 2010, we were concerned about
how the recession would affect conference travel and participation
for graduate students and faculty members alike. But as veteran
CP goers will tell you, Console-ing Passions isn’t like other conferences. Its size has always allowed conference participants to
have more sustained conversations about media than other, larger
conferences. Although presentations are lively and often contentious, the CP community has benefited from an ongoing feminist
commitment to respond seriously and respectfully to works-inprogress—ranging from graduate students presenting their first
conference papers to senior faculty members testing near-finished
book chapters.
This year’s conference—the thirteenth CP gathering—welcomes
scholars from Australia, Canada, China, Finland, the UK, and
across the United States. This diverse community reaffirms the
vision of those who founded CP in 1992 and demonstrates the
continued importance of our conference. The University of Oregon
is delighted to provide a temporary home for this unique and
wonderful event.
Welcome to Eugene!
