10th Humor Research Conference 2020

The conference will be held online only.

A Dual-Modality Conference

Friday, March 20, 2020 | East Texas A&M University | David Talbot Hall of Languages, Commerce, TX

The 10th annual Humor Research Conference (HRC) 2020 is a dual-modality conference, that is it will take place at Texas A&M—Commerce's main campus in Commerce, TX and will be simultaneous live-broadcast on the web. Our goal is to promote a sustainable future through a cost-efficient and energy-saving green conference.

The Humor Research Conference is a student-organized international multidisciplinary all-plenary event dedicated to the study of humor in all its facets.

There are two types of presentations: full papers and posters. Students (or other scholars) may submit "e-poster" abstracts for the poster session, which will take place online. E-posters will be available online the day before the conference and presenters will have a 5-10 minute Q&A slot, in which attendees may ask questions or provide suggestions. Posters do not include a presentation. E-posters consist of a maximum of 10 "slides" in .ppt or .pdf format and will be posted on the conference website. Deadline for submission of posters is one week prior to the conference.
