Hello All, I am attaching an updated CFP for the "Humor in America" Conference. The content and information are the same, except for the exciting news that the Center for Mark Twain Studies has donated $500 to create the "Center for Mark Twain Studies Award," which will go to graduate students presenting on Mark Twain to help defer costs. This effort continues the strong dedication of the Center for promoting Twain scholarship and supporting graduate students. Thank you to Joe and Matt and the Center. Overall, the AHSA has been working with the Mark Twain Circle and the CMTS to support graduate students working in our fields. For this conference, we have two travel funds for graduate students and are hoping to be able to support scholars who are newer in our fields, which as we all know is crucial to continuing the work we do. With that being said, we are looking for donations for the "Constance Rourke Travel Fund," which will support graduate students in both humor studies and Twain Studies. You can donate here: https://humorinamericaconference.wordpress.com/travel-grants/ You can also donate when (and if) you register for the conference. Please let me know if you have any questions. Best, Tracy Wuster Executive Director, AHSA
