I always enjoy meeting with @EmoryUniversity Professor of Irish Studies Geraldine Higgins. Today, she kindly invited us to her Atlanta home where it was great to be able to discuss her work on Irish literature.

"In The Intuitionist, a joke is a way of laying claim to the multiplicity of a vexed social reality in flux, a way of saying that the world we live in is not inevitable and, so, is vulnerable to change." @jussssjokes bit.ly/2STf7kl

"For today’s Millennial Black satirists, fatalism is not enough. They insist on moving beyond ambivalence, toward action. They name injustice toward its eradication." @ProfBManning bit.ly/2TS52o2

"[Issa] Rae brings these communities into one distinct place without erasing their difference through an awkward prose that unsettles and disrupts any attempt to fix or be familiar with Black girl awkwardness." @phdkey bit.ly/3gJpPmG

"Jokes and the laughter they inspire open up a space for play, reimagining Black identity, and Black selfhood, and even Blackness itself where stereotypes and preconceptions can be usurped, rebutted, reappropriated, or exploded." @mos_daf bit.ly/3vNaVjq
