*CONSOLE-ING PASSIONS*

*International Conference on Television, Video, Audio, New Media, and
Feminism*

*Notre Dame, Indiana*

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.The first Console-ing Passions
conference was held at the University of Iowa in 1992.Since then,
Console-ing Passions has expanded to become not only the most important
conference for scholars studying gender in television but also among the
top conferences for scholars of media generally.

The 2016 Conference Organizing Committee invites proposals for
individual papers, pre-constituted panels, and pre-constituted forums
that consider television, video, audio, or new media alongside gender,
sexuality, race, or other intersected components of identity.We also
welcome proposals for video, audio, or new media creative works related
to gender and other modes of identity.

Possible paper, panel, and forum topics include:

●media production and industries

●media audiences and fans

●textual analysis and criticism

●media theory

●feminist, queer, and critical race theory

●media history

●neoliberalism and the economy

*CP Forums: *Building upon the success of discussion-based roundtables
at Flow and other conferences, we invite proposals for a limited number
of pre-constituted roundtables that focus either on scholarly topics in
the field or matters of professional interest.We are especially
interested in roundtables that are likely to engage wide 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 a convener, who
will propose a question (<100 words) and solicit brief (<250 words)
responses from 5-7 respondents.Proposals should also include a brief bio
and contact information for the convener and each participant.If the
proposal is accepted, each participant will write a response to the
question of no more than 600 words, which must be submitted to the
conference organizers 2 weeks prior to the conference.Those papers will
be circulated to all attendees and will form the basis of a public
discussion during the CP Forum sessions. Roundtable participants’
remarks at the conference should be brief in order to create substantive
discussion with attendees.

*Creative Works: *We invite proposals for video, audio, or new media
screenings or exhibits.Proposals should consist of a 350-word abstract
(including the length and format of the work), a short bio of the
producer/director, and contact information.If the work is viewable
