Humour, disability and public engagement

In their struggles with an ableist built environment, disabled people have used a variety of communicative resources to achieve agency in discussions and debates around planning and architecture.

This workshop focuses on the role of humour and asks how using humour can impact public engagement strategies and practices. It brings together a variety of perspectives, from planning studies, brain sciences to public engagement practitioners. However, it places a particular emphasis on how cultural studies and artistic practice can inform our understanding of humour as it relates to disability.

The workshop features six speakers across two sessions, each making a short presentation of 10-15 mins, leaving plenty of time for questions and discussion. The afternoon's conversations will be captured in a short blog/report, made available to participants afterwards.
