To Laugh or Not to Laugh: Exploring Race and Gender Through Humor
This course explores the intersections of race, gender, and humor within various cultural and historical contexts. It examines how humor can reflect and shape ideas about race and gender, how it can both challenge and reinforce stereotypes, and how it operates in different media and genres as a form of resistance and oppression. Students will engage with theories of humor, critical race theory, and gender studies to critically analyze texts, performances, and media.
