Humour can enable critique, solidarity, and resistance\u2014but it can also foster exclusion, polarization, and harm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The workshop examines these tensions through humour theory, legal perspectives, political satire, platform governance, and civic education. Its central aim is to identify key research questions at the intersection of humour and democracy and to equip doctoral researchers with conceptual tools and methodological approaches relevant for future research projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The programme combines lectures by leading international scholars, hands-on workshops (such as drawing political cartoons), panel discussions with major international research projects, and networking events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We warmly encourage doctoral researchers working on humour, democracy, media, law, political communication, cultural studies, education, or related fields to participate. Upon full participation in the workshop programme, participants will be awarded 3 ECTS credits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"custom-css-block\"><style>#aab_accordion_63eb7a32_0 {  }<\/style><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-aab-accordion-block aab__accordion_container  accessibilityOn\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:15px;border:1px solid #bcb6b638\" id=\"aab_accordion_63eb7a32_0\" role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" tabindex=\"0\"><div class=\"aab__accordion_head aab_right_icon\" style=\"background-color:#bcb6b638;border-top:none;border-right:none;border-bottom:none;border-left:none\"><div class=\"aab__accordion_heading aab_right_icon aab_right_link\"><div class=\"head_content_wrapper\"><div class=\"title_wrapper\"><h5 class=\"aab__accordion_title\" style=\"margin:0\"><strong>Speakers<\/strong><\/h5><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"aab__accordion_icon\" style=\"border:0px solid transparent\"><span class=\"aab__icon dashicons dashicons-plus-alt2\" style=\"font-size:23px\"><\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"aab__accordion_body\" role=\"region\" style=\"display:none;border-top:1px solid #bcb6b638;border-right:none;border-bottom:none;border-left:none\"><div class=\"aab__accordion_component\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ariadna Matamoros Fernandez, University College Dublin;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tjeerd Royaards, Cartoon Movement, Amsterdam<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Anastasiya Fiadotava, Estonian Literary Museum<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Guillem Casta\u00f1ar Rubio, Tallinn University<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Carmen Ma\u00edz Arevalo, Complutense University of Madrid<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dennis Meyhoff Brink, University of Copenhagen<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Andrew Bricker, Ghent University<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Alberto Godioli, University of Groningen<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Register <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/forms.cloud.microsoft\/Pages\/ResponsePage.aspx?id=F2M1bQQNvEq2toyXc4hbsCbNyIdHCXRAjykzxfzX8-1UQk9HRUFQSkRFVldHNjdMVVdLRE9HSFZGQy4u\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/forms.cloud.microsoft\/Pages\/ResponsePage.aspx?id=F2M1bQQNvEq2toyXc4hbsCbNyIdHCXRAjykzxfzX8-1UQk9HRUFQSkRFVldHNjdMVVdLRE9HSFZGQy4u\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HERE<\/a><\/span><\/strong>.
