Dear All,
By way of introduction, I am a sociologist of religion (PhD, Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes, Sorbonne, Paris, France, 2001) and Affiliated Researcher at Woolf Institute, Cambridge, UK. I have just relocated to Washington, DC from where I will continue working on my research activities and interests.
With a multifaceted international research experience, I have worked and published on numerous topics, including: religion and social welfare; faith and fashion; and humour and religion.
I am particularly interested in the role of humour and comedy in combatting religious hatred and in building interfaith bridges across different communities. My latest humour publications include:
“Muslim Comedy: From Social Purpose to the Consumption of Culture”. In: Routledge International Handbook of Global Islam and Consumer Culture, edited by B. Krawietz and F. Gauthier, 2024 (forthcoming), Routledge.
"Religion and Humor: An Unorthodox Relationship?", Public Orthodoxy, Orthodox Christian Studies Center, 12 October 2023, Fordham University, https://publicorthodoxy.org/2023/10/12/r...and-humor/
Muslims and Humour: Essays on Comedy, Joking, and Mirth in Contemporary Islamic Contexts, co-edited with Bernard Schweizer, 2022, Bristol University Press (BUP).
All very best wishes,
Lina M. Liederman
