Proposals should be sent to Tracy Wuster: wustert@gmail.com
If you are interested in chairing a panel, please contact the above person.
In addition, we are looking for people to fill three specific panels:
1) Humor and Politics:
From Benjamin Franklin’s clever satire to Stephen Colbert’s parodic punditry, from The Masses’s devastating cartoons to Gary Trudeau’s Doonesbury: humor has played a vital, yet often unexamined role in American politics. This panel seeks papers that examine both humor as political discourse and rhetoric and the effects of humor on politics. We welcome proposals from a variety of perspectives historical, theoretical, or otherwise. Proposals should be no more than 300 words and include a short bibliography.
2) Ethnic Humor: Pleasures and Problems
About any aspect of ethnic humor.
3) Roundtable: Humor Studies and Cultural Studies
A panel of scholars will discuss the relationship between humor studies and cultural studies as fields of discourse. Each scholar will speak for 5-8 minutes, then discuss with the audience. Focus of individual remarks are open to interpretation.
