Title: Can we truly laugh about everything? humour in the classroom : balancing fun and respect

Author: Bogatti, Saul

Abstract: "Los Angeles, March 27, 2022. - During the Oscars award ceremony, the host, a renowned comedian, interacts with the audience, who are receptive to his jokes. The atmosphere in the theatre is relaxed and everyone seems to be having a good time. Suddenly, the comedian makes fun of an audience member who suffers an illness. Her husband gets onto the stage and gives the comedian a resounding slap. A stunned silence falls over the celebrity-filled venue. This anecdote already seems to provide an answer to the question asked in the title. As teachers, when we use humour in the classroom for pedagogical purposes, to lighten the mood or for any other reason, what steps should we take to make sure we don’t hurt anyone’s feelings, or, in the worst Hollywood scenario, end up with a black eye? Let’s explore the topics to avoid and the best practices to adopt when sharing a laugh with students." -- AQPC
