Laughing together can be a powerful force for bonding and bringing people closer to one another, but laughter and humour can also be divisive and exclusionary. This year’s theme invites presentations on either or both aspects of laughter and humour. As in previous AHSN conferences, however, presentations are welcome on all aspects of social laughter and humour, and from diverse disciplinary perspectives, including not only humour studies as such, but also literary studies, linguistics, cultural studies, politics, psychology, philosophy, history, comedy studies, law, creative practices, sociology, communication studies and others. Visit the 26th AHSN Conference webpage for details on keynote speakers, registration, important dates and travel and accommodation options. For all enquiries, please email us.</p><p>The 26th AHSN Conference is co-hosted by Professor Cliff Goddard of Griffith University’s School of Humanities, Languages and Social Science, and the Griffith Centre for Social and Cultural Research (GCSCR).</p><p><strong>Important Dates:</strong></p><p>Submission portal opens on June 1, 2019</p><p>Submission portal closes on September 22, 2019</p><p>Acceptance advice by October 1, 2019</p><p>Registration for presenters and non-presenters August 1, 2019 – January <span style="font-size: 13.6px;">8,</span><span style="font-size: 0.85em;"> 2020</span></p><p>Conference dates: February <span style="font-size: 13.6px;">5-7,</span><span style="font-size: 0.85em;"> 2020</span></p><p> </p><p><strong>Enquiries:</strong></p><p>Should you have any questions or need any help, please contact us at <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a></p><p> </p> The University of Sydney en-US Australasian Humour Studies Network Conference N/A https://openjournals.library.sydney.edu.au/AHSN/article/view/13439 <p>AHSN Conference<br />6-8 February 2019<br />RMIT University, Melbourne</p> Editors AHSN Copyright (c) 2019 Australasian Humour Studies Network Conference 2019-05-09 2019-05-09
