The Center's mission is based on the philosophy that film, television, and new media are best studied in the context of a rigorous and broad-based liberal arts and sciences education. Although UCSB faculty conduct field-transforming research and are among the leading specialists in their fields, what separates our program from schools that focus on pre-professional training is an approach that grounds students in the liberal arts and sciences.

Console-ing Passions was founded in 1989 by a group of feminist media scholars and artists to create a space to present work and foster scholarship in issues of television, culture, and identity, with an emphasis on gender and sexuality. Since then, a series of conferences has brought together work from a wide scope of interests to encourage television research in the spheres of race, gender, and identity.  More than 200 scholars from around the world are expected to attend this year’s conference at UC Santa Barbara.
