What's so Funny? The Sociology of Comedy  

Description: This session will focus on the Sociology of Comedy. Among the questions we will consider are:  What purpose does comedy have for society? Why does what is funny change over time? Please note that the presenters are amateur comedians at best. But we do love a good laugh.

Bio: Rima Wilkes is a Professor and Grad Chair at the University of British Columbia. Her research seeks to address the question of why, despite a decline in overt racism, racial and ethnic inequality persists in Western societies. This includes considering how politics are intertwined with inequality, how people think, and the impact of their geographical location. Wilkes was also the President-Elect of the Canadian Sociological Association from 2017-2018 and the Executive Editor of the Canadian Review of Sociology from 2013-2016.  She is a mother to twin boys and lives in Vancouver.

Leah Kegan is a doctoral candidate at the University of British Columbia who is writing a thesis about Native American education.
