The Ethics and Aesthetics of Stand-Up Comedy Conference will bring together scholars and practitioners interested in stand-up comedy from a range of academic disciplines, including but not limited to philosophy, performance studies, women’s and gender studies, African-American studies, theatre, art history, and culture studies.
In addition to academic papers, panels, comments, and discussion, the conference also includes workshops, an open mic night, roundtable discussions with comedians, and stand-up comedy performances.
We invite submissions for paper presentations, thematic panels, workshops, and offers to serve as commentator or chair. Submissions are welcome on any topic in the aesthetics and ethics of stand-up comedy, broadly construed.
