Weekly Featured Panel: In Memoriam Christie Davies

Today, we would like to introduce the final featured panel of ISHS2018. It is dedicated to the late Christie Davies, an outstanding sociologist who studied, shared, and made myriads of jokes. Panelists are invited to reflect on Christie’s vast contribution to humour studies: ethnic jokes, comparative studies, and other social aspects of humour. You can read the full description of the panel here.

If you haven’t already, we also invite you to check out the special issue of the open-access European Journal of Humour Research dedicated to the memory of Christie. Follow this link to access the full-text articles.

And if you are a student or a recent PhD graduate, there is still time to apply for the Christie Davies award!
