Humour Me! A Research Symposium on Humour
University of Edinburgh, Friday 8 November 2019
Humour Me! Is a symposium bringing together established and emerging scholars researching humour.
The entire day of Friday 8th November 2019 will be dedicated to this collaborative forum on humour. It will include paper panels, individual talks and workshop sessions, and it will culminate in an evening performance.
Our aim is to explore different manifestations, expressions, receptions, functions and purposes of humour in different historical and cultural contexts, as well as the most effective methods of researching this vast and interdisciplinary field.
Humour Me! will be hosted by the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities at the University of Edinburgh. For preliminary inquiries, please write to humour.symposium@gmail.com
