*The history of Console-ing Passions*____

Console-ing Passions was founded in 1989 by a group of feminist media 
scholars and artists looking to create a space to present work and 
foster scholarship on issues of television, culture and identity, with 
an emphasis on gender and sexuality.  Over the years since the first 
conference took place at the University of Iowa in 1992, Console-ing 
Passions has expanded to become not only the most important conference 
for scholars studying gender in television but also one of the top 
conferences for scholars of media generally.  Console-ing Passions has 
only ever taken place twice before in the UK, in 2001 (University of 
Bristol) and 2013 (De Montfort University).____


*The focus of this conference*____

Console-ing Passions at Bournemouth University welcomes a wide range of 
proposals for individual papers, pre-constituted panels and 
pre-constituted workshops that consider television, video, audio or new 
media alongside gender, sexuality, race and/or other intersectional 
components of identity.  Proposals for the presentation of video, audio, 
or new media creative works are also invited.____

Whilst the conference organisers invite a broad and diverse range of 
proposals, as global trends reveal the rise of populism, nationalism and 
resistance to migration, special preference will be given to panels, 
workshops and creative works that focus on these themes.


As part of this, the conference plenary sessions will focus on 
*intersections of feminism and migration*, including confirmed 
presentations from:____

__·__Floya Anthias: Professor of Sociology and Social Justice (Emeritus) 
at Roehampton University, London, UK, whose recent work includes 
/Paradoxes of Integration: Female Migrants in Europe/ (2013).

·     Kerstin Stutterheim: Professor of Media & Cultural Studies at 
Bournemouth University, who will present a self-reflexive documentary 
focusing on the migrant’s concept of home.

__·__Representatives from the International Queer & Migrant Film 
Festival in Amsterdam will address the event, offering insight into 
their diverse social and cultural work.____


The 2018 conference at Bournemouth University within the Faculty of 
Media and Communication offers a democratic arena for diverse voices, 
framing aspects of media production and performativity as much as 
academic enquiry.  Console-ing Passions is also accepting undergraduate 
proposals, so please encourage interested undergraduates to apply.____


The conference organizers hope to make final decisions on submissions by 
mid-February, 2018.____

CP Workshops: We invite proposals for a limited number of 
pre-constituted workshop round-tables that focus either on scholarly 
topics in the field or matters of professional interest. We are

participation by conference attendees and which reflect our field’s 
diversity of cultural identities, institutions, methodologies and 
professional rank or employment status. Proposals should be submitted by 
an organiser, who will propose a subject area for discussion (250-word 
abstract) including responses (of 150 words) from 5-7 respondents. 
Proposals should also include a brief bio and contact information for
