AHSN Day 3 highlight: getting to hear from an interdisciplinary panel about 'comic blather', which hides performance behind the facade of mundane and seemingly 'authentic' conversation -- something that bears parallels with how some livestreamers like to talk! (no picture cause I was too engaged 😔)

AHSN Conference Day 2 highlight: getting to present some preliminary findings from my doctoral project, focusing on how Northernlion's Livestream content can be seen as a form of comedic performance. (and a special thanks to @antipollution.bsky.social for starting me on the Northernlion train!!!)
Me presenting a slide containing a screenshot of TwitchA slide with pictures of Northernlion: one of him staring menacingly into the camera, another of him playing Mario Party

Australasian Humour Studies Network conference day 1 highlight: hearing a paper about A Midsummer Night's Dream and resisting the urge to divert the serious discussion about historical context by asking about the incredibly silly rendition done by two vtubers... www.youtube.com/live/9hADwEY...

Wondering why Australia shouldn’t (consider) ban social media (games) for minors? China sets us an example. Thanks for the great team work @benegliston.bsky.social , @marcuscarter.com 🍻 theconversation.com/china-restri...

China restricted young people from video games. But kids are evading the bans and getting into trouble
In China, many people see video games as ‘spiritual opium’. However, laws restricting young people’s play have proven difficult to enforce in practice.

Presented my methods and early findings of my research on Twitch livestream humour across platforms at #aanzca24 earlier this week as part of a PhD candidate panel with Wenjia Tang, @tianyizhangshao.bsky.social, and @yiwenw.bsky.social. More at geofflearnstobefunny.wordpress.com/2024/11/27/a...
Me standing at a lectern giving my presentation with the introduction slide behind me. The text reads, "Existing research into content creation on platforms", "Humour as a means to study cross-platform interactions", "Ethnography and analysis methods", and "early findings".
