The ACSC’s Comedy Studies Reading Group meets regularly to read and discuss works of comedy scholarship. Currently, meetings take place fortnightly and are hosted at Monash University’s Caulfield Campus and online via Zoom.
Like all our activities, the Reading Group is run on a volunteer basis in the spirit of collectivism, collegiality, and community service. Meetings are open to all and there is no cost to attend. If you would like to know more or attend an upcoming meeting, please get in touch.
