TALK: Laughing to Go Along, Laughing to Resist
Phil Glenn (Emerson College)
Friday, May 7 / 1:30-3:30 PM / FREE
Phelps Hall 2536, UCSB

Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Organizational and Political Communication at Emerson College, Phil Glenn interprets laughter not as a spontaneous emotional display, but as a highly organized reaction. He will discuss how the features, placement and timing of laughter contribute to its emergent meaning and functions in everyday life.
