Comedy Studies Reading Group
The ACSC’s reading group meets regularly to discuss new and old works of comedy scholarship. Meetings take place in person in Naarm/Melbourne 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.
