UCSB hosts Console-ing Passions: A conference on television, audio, video, new media and feminism.
Founded by a group of feminist media scholars and artists, Console-ing Passions works to create collegial spaces for new work and scholarship on culture and identity in television and related media, with an emphasis on gender and sexuality. Since the early 1990s, Console-ing Passions conferences have featured new research on feminist perspectives, including race and ethnicity, post-colonialism, queer studies, globalization, national identity, television genres, the social and cultural study of new media, the historical development of media, and an ongoing feminist concern with gender dynamics in the production and consumption of electronic media.

Here is a link to watch the new Film and Media Studies building go up.
Over the last three months, ESSB construction has been proceeding well and has reached the 15% complete mark. The major foundations and most of the underground utilities are in. Roughly half of the structural steel for the GGSE Building is up. In addition to the steel work, some concrete formwork at the Pollock Theater has begun. Although there is much to be done, this recent work does start to give a sense of the form and scale of the building complex.
If your routine doesn’t take you by the site often, you can now watch the buildings go up remotely. A camera has been set up on the roof of South Hall with a view of the entire site. A snapshot from the web camera and the link are included below. We would like to send a special thanks to Design & Construction Services for getting this system up and running.
Within the next couple of months, steel work should start on the L&S Building and more of the theater will take shape.
