As part of the recent Mitacs funded research project ‘No pierden el humor: Post-disaster humor in Mexico’,

We are happy to extend the seminar invitation to EDST students, faculty and beyond.

“The word death is not pronounced in New York, in Paris, in London, because it burns the lips. The Mexican, in contrast, is familiar with death, jokes about it, caresses it; it is one of his [sic] favorite toys and his most steadfast love… Mexican death is the mirror of Mexican life…”

~ Octavio Paz
