摘要：In the summer of 2015, an international conference on humour studies took place at Holy Names University, where Professor Martin Lampert from the Department of Psychology, the long-serving secretary of the International Society for Humor Studies (ISHS), invited humour scholars from all over the world to hold their 27th annual meeting. This year, the conference featured more than 150 presentations, workshops, and performances from scholars and professionals representing 26 countries. The dense programme was generally targeted at five areas: 1) cognition and creativity; 2) culture, gender, and community; 3) health and well-being; 4) individuals and individual styles; and 5) public and private discourse. In addition to that, there were five panels / general sessions, sponsored symposia by renowned associations and societies dealing with humour, some roundtables (e.g. teaching humour studies at university), workshops, and plenty of extracurricular activities.
