@serevandi @BeneCarnaghi @Dr_Helen_Roche Thank you, Serena! It was just terrific to meet you and listen to your paper. I'm looking up Gadda in the library catalogue right now
Thank you so much @BeneCarnaghi @Dr_Helen_Roche, and @fried_ben for such a wonderful conference! I’ve learned a lot and met amazing people.
A wonderful conference comes to an end. We laughed, we learned, we ranged across media, languages, and periods. It was such a pleasure to listen to our participants and their groundbreaking research. Deep thanks to them, to our audience, to @durham_uni and @durham_history!

And the last speaker of our conference on “Laughter as a Political Coping Mechanism”: Aidan Jones! Aidan is presenting on “The Death Penalty, Humour, and the United States.”
A. Austin Garvey deepens our focus on Ukraine, comparing wartime Punch cartoons and contemporary Ukrainian memes in “Visual Humour in European Home Fronts: Britain and Ukraine.”
