> Hi Rachel! 
> I don't know whether this would apply to any of your students, but I'm offering this seminar in the spring semester that still has 3 open slots. It's meant for juniors or seniors, but smart sophomores can also apply to get in. Since I've enjoyed teaching Hampshire students in the past, if there is someone you think might be interested let them know...

> JUD 362 Punchline: Jewish Humor (Seminar in Modern Jewish Literature and Culture)
> What makes a Jewish joke? Is it about self-deprecation? The deflation of majority culture? Finding humor in tragedy? Explores the evolution of modern Jewish humor, from Yiddish folk types to the influence of Jewish standup comedians, writers and performers on post-war American popular culture. What do contemporary American comic masters such as Philip Roth, Mel Brooks, Woody Allen, Sarah Silverman, Larry David and the Coen Brothers have in common with European precursors such as Sholem Aleichem and Kafka? Also includes critical theories of humor by Freud and Bergson. Sophomores welcome to apply for admission.
