Our major event in 2007 is the 11-12 April Colloquium, kindly hosted by the Flinders Humanities Research Centre at Flinders University, Bedford Park, Adelaide (see below). NB Early warning: a second 2007 Colloquium is in the pipeline for November at UNSW, with keynote presentations from colleagues from Japan Society for Laughter and Humor Studies. I look forward to meeting AHSN members at one or the other - or both! - and a lots of debates concerning the role of humour and laughter in life. Jessica Milner Davis Co-ordinator, AHSN Senior Visiting Fellow, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, UNSW AHSN Web-site: http://media.arts.unsw.edu.au/ahsn/index.html ============================================================================== INVITATIONAL COLLOQUIUM ON HUMOUR STUDIES  11-12 April 2007 ============================================================================== Reminder: register NOW for the 2007 Invitational Colloquium, Wednesday 11- Thursday 12 April, during the Easter break, at Flinders University, Adelaide, hosted by the Flinders Humanities Research Centre, and Associate Professors Robert Phiddian (English) and Haydon Manning (Political Science), who form the Flinders Satire Cartel. The title-topic is, "Humour and Laughter in an 'Age of Terror'", although the scope of the papers (as you will see from attached Program) is wider and incorporates a Section on Post-graduate Humour Research, which the AHSN is particularly glad to support. The Keynote presentation is being given by Mike Atchison, 40 years' cartoonist with "The Adelaide Advertiser"; a range of commentators on cartooning, politics and the law will follow up his address. The Registration form for attendees is on the last page of the Program document; I also attach an Information-sheet. NB: If you want to join the Friday 13 Wine Tour to McLaren Vale, contact Robert Phiddian on by Wednesday 4 April, as the organizers have their own deadlines for numbers (see Info Sheet). Further information(eg accommodation suggestions) can be found on the AHSN web-site at: http://media.arts.unsw.edu.au/ahsn/index.html (click on "April 2007 Colloquium") =============================================================================== EARLY ANNOUNCEMENT: CONFERENCE ON "HUMOR IN ROMANCE LITERATURE", HOFSTRA UNIVERSITY, LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK, APRIL 2008 ======================================================================================= The Hofstra Cultural Center conference on Humor in Romance Literature will be held on Thursday, Friday and Saturrday, April 10 to 12, 2008.
