Interesting read, thank you for sharing Nick Youssef NEW SPECIAL ON YOUTUBE. I can't speak to the rationale of other Arab comics, but empirical research on #PrejudicedNormTheory supports your stance on refraining from "easy" Arab humor (e.g. Ford & Ferguson 2004; Ford et al. 2014; Ford & Olah 2021).
I love to see the power comedians can have on policy, and from one of my favorites no less! Looking forward to seeing how this turns out. Tom Cashman #humor #comedy #rentalrights #landlords #powerimbalance #Australia
What better day to publish a humor article than #AprilFoolsDay? Read about how #politicians use #humor on #Twitter in this article I contributed to (another great collaboration with Andrés Mendiburo S. & CatalinaArguello). And no joke: it's available #OpenAccess! doi.org/10.3389/fsoc.2…
Proud to announce the publication of my #research with Armed Services Arts Partnership (ASAP), @TheJunkinGroup, & Western Carolina University (funded by Bob Woodruff Foundation) about how a #standupcomedy class can promote #wellbeing in #veterans! Even better, it's #openaccess! #WellBeingIsNoLol #arts #humor #evaluation degruyter.com/document/doi/1…
New study absolves Cards Against Humanity of slanderous allegations of spreading prejudice; turns out that relative was already a horrible person before playing the game: degruyter.com/document/doi/1… #cardgames #partygames #psychology #humor #research #psych #socialpsychology #appliedpsych #JustAGame
Not only does research show playing Cards Against Humanity doesn't promote prejudice, but now they're going up against SpaceX for dumping on land they don't even own. #cmonElon #ElonOwesMe100Bucks #JustAGame #cardgames #BusinessEthics #CardsAgainstHumanity #SavesAmerica
