Event: AM I ALLOWED TO SAY THAT?!
-How do you draw the boundary between what is funny vs. insensitive or threatening?
-Can humor be transgressive or liberatory? Can humor push the limits of our culture towards a more just or egalitarian culture?
-Do you think stereotypes can be redeployed in humor? How does our culture use humor in specific ways to address or not address issues?
Come listen to what some of your peers have to say on this topic in a panel discussion on the politics of humor! This event will take place on Wednesday, October 26th at 8:00 PM in the WU.
