*(On behalf of the organising committee)*


*THE 25THTH AHSN CONFERENCE WILL TAKE PLACE FROM 6-8 FEBRUARY 2019 AT RMIT
UNIVERSITY, MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA.*



*Theme: “**Humour in all its forms: on screen, on the page, on stage, on
air, online …”*



Given this is the silver anniversary of the AHSN conference, the theme has
a scope that enables a broad disciplinary engagement and recognition that
humour manifests in myriad of ways, a number of which are still unfolding.
We are keen to hear about humour in all its forms.



Information on transport and accommodation will be provided closer to the
time via the Events page
<http://sydney.edu.au/humourstudies/events/index.shtml> on the AHSN
webpages at University of Sydney. Other conference enquiries may be
forwarded to *[log in to unmask]* <[log in to unmask]>

research students are particularly encouraged, with postgraduate
scholarships available to the first five to successfully complete the
review process.



The call for papers closes on *31 July 2018*. Successful applicants will be
advised of review outcomes in order of submission and in all case by no
later than *15 October 2018. *Please refer to the AHSN Guidelines for
Presenters below.

*GUIDELINES FOR PRESENTERS*



TOPICS AND SUBJECT MATTER

Papers at AHSN conferences typically come from a very wide range of
disciplines and should have a firm basis in Humour and/or Comedy Studies to
ensure that they are not disadvantaged in the review process.



ABSTRACTS

Abstracts are limited to 500 words only including references (if
required).  Please do not use foot- or end-notes, and retain a dated copy
for your own records.



LENGTH OF PRESENTATION

Papers are allocated 20 minutes for presentation and 10 minutes for
discussion; pre-organised panels of 3 presentations are allocated 90
minutes; and practical workshops of 60 minutes are welcome. Please time
your presentation and allow time for questions. Questions from AHSN
delegates will come from a variety of disciplines and may give you valuable
new perspectives on your project.



We look forward to seeing you in Melbourne next February!
