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

*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)>

scholarships available to the first five to successfully complete the

*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!
