The upcoming conference Funny Women, organised by Nele Sawallisch (KU Eichstätt-Ingolstadt) and Wieland Schwanebeck (TU Dresden), will examine the topic of women doing comedy across the media.
Scholars from Europe and the United States will discuss female comic stereotypes, the relationship between comedy and transgressiveness, sexism in the comedy industry, the role of the #MeToo movement, and successful TV shows like Fleabag and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.
