"TV Time, or Thoughts on TV" was the subject of the Society for the Humanities annual invitational lecture Feb. 15 in the A.D. White House. Associate professor of film and director of the Feminist, Gender and Sexualities Program Amy Villarejo considered issues of temporality in film and television, the nature of live television and questions raised when live and prerecorded footage is used side by side.

Villarejo's interests include documentary and experimental film, television, theories of feminism and sexuality, queer film and culture, and America in the mid-20th century. Her book "Lesbian Rule: Cultural Criticism and the Value of Desire" won the 2005 Katherine Singer Kovacs Book Award from the Society for Cinema and Media Studies.
