Taylor, Amanda Grace; Stump, Patrick – Communication Teacher, 2023
In most higher education institutions, course evaluations are conducted at the end of the term. While many instructors implement a feedback system such as a questionnaire or poll at the midterm point, we propose that having students use an arts-based representation (i.e. memes) for a feedback channel can help students and the course instructor to…

Chowdhury, Faieza – International Journal of Higher Education, 2022
The word humor can be defined as something which is perceived to be funny, comical, or amusing. However, in the case of humor perception plays a key role. This is mainly because what is regarded as humorous by one person may not be funny to another person. Hence, humor like beauty lies in the eyes (ears) of the beholder. The potential of humor as…

Lars Dahl Pedersen – Journal of Dance Education, 2025
Research on creative dance education has indicated that students can take risks and improvise when the teacher relinquishes control through an open and explorative approach.

Hansen, Jared M.; Wilson, Paul – Marketing Education Review, 2023
The practice of "memes" -- taking an image from pop culture and adding humorous or inspiring text to it -- are an opportunity for marketing practice. We posit that memes also provide an innovative technique to help students become more engaged in marketing classes. We propose requiring students to submit one or more graded homework…

In this paper, I revisit a spontaneous "laughter" event in a college classroom in China to decolonize in three steps my/our otherwise naturalized modernity/coloniality assumptions about teaching/teachers, learning/learners, gender, objects, and classroom space toward a Daoist affective ecological imaginary. First, I invoke postcritical…
