York Research Unit for the Study of Satire

Description

The York Research Unit for the Study of Satire draws together researchers and satirists to historicise, problematise, theorise, teach and perform satire and satirical material.

Satire is an urgent topic with a long history. In a world of fake news or news that seems too incredible or too unpalatable to be true, journalists and satirists regularly make the claim that 'satire is dead' . Yet satire continues to emerge in professional, amateur, elitist and popular forms.

The Research Unit creates opportunities for its members and the academic community at York St John University to lead a national conversation about the form, function and future of satire.
