humor more generally, as revealed through on-line interaction. Anyone
conducting research in these areas who is interested in participating
in such a panel is requested to e-mail a brief description of their
proposed presentation to susan at utafll.uta.edu ASAP, or by February 8
at the latest. The deadline for submitting panel proposals for ISHS
