Research project Humor as serious business: Power and resistance in multiethnic educational contexts

Humor can work both inclusively and exclusively and be both normative and subversive. Humor also enables a conversation space, where it can be pronounced that otherwise may not be said.

The project focuses on the use and effects of humor in young people's peer relationships and in interaction between young people and adults in different educational contexts.
