[ecrea] Call for Papers - Australian Humour Studies Network conference

Tue Jul 03 11:22:55 GMT 2018





*THE 25TH^TH  AHSN CONFERENCE WILL TAKE PLACE FROM 6-8 FEBRUARY 2019 AT RMIT UNIVERSITY, MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA.*

**

*Theme: “**/Humour in all its forms: on screen, on the page, on stage, on air, online …”/***

Given this is the silver anniversary of the AHSN conference, the theme has a scope that enables a broad disciplinary engagement and recognition that humour manifests in myriad of ways, a number of which are still unfolding. We are keen to hear about humour in all its forms.

Information on transport and accommodation will be provided closer to the time via the Events page <http://sydney.edu.au/humourstudies/events/index.shtml> on the AHSN webpages at University of Sydney. Other conference enquiries may be forwarded to *(ahsnconference /at/ gmail.com)* <mailto:(ahsnconference /at/ gmail.com)>

The call for papers closes on *31 July 2018*. Successful applicants will be advised of review outcomes in order of submission and in all case by no later than *15 October 2018. *Please refer to the AHSN Guidelines for Presenters below.

*GUIDELINES FOR PRESENTERS*

TOPICS AND SUBJECT MATTER

Papers at AHSN conferences typically come from a very wide range of disciplines and should have a firm basis in Humour and/or Comedy Studies to ensure that they are not disadvantaged in the review process.

ABSTRACTS

Abstracts are limited to 500 words only including references (if required). Please do not use foot- or end-notes, and retain a dated copy for your own records.

LENGTH OF PRESENTATION

Papers are allocated 20 minutes for presentation and 10 minutes for discussion; pre-organised panels of 3 presentations are allocated 90 minutes; and practical workshops of 60 minutes are welcome. Please time your presentation and allow time for questions. Questions from AHSN delegates will come from a variety of disciplines and may give you valuable new perspectives on your project.

We look forward to seeing you in Melbourne next February!
