ASA 2010 Panels
Many thanks to everyone who submitted abstracts, wrote panel descriptions, agreed to moderate, or otherwise helped the Humor Studies Caucus organize five panels to submit to the ASA for the 2010 conference. We now have 52 members of our list serve, and we received more than 30 proposals. The growth of the caucus is encouraging and exciting.
There is a new link above—“Past and Present Panels”—with the five abstracts from this year’s work, as well as the past panels of the Caucus.
Thanks to Phil Nel, Juniper Ellis, Ted Gournelos, and Tracy Wuster for crafting the CFP and organizing the ensuing papers into panels.
Thanks to Lanita Jacobs-Huey, Judith Yaross Lee, Gillian Johns, Amy Ware, and Ted Gournelos for volunteering to Chair the panels.
Thanks also to Lanita, Ted, Phil Charles Martin, and John Lowe for writing the panel abstracts, and to Jen Dickinson for pulling together her panel and submitting.
And especially: thank you to everyone who submitted. We hope that papers that didn’t fit into panels were submitted individually, and that all the papers and panels are accepted by ASA.
