On Friday, 4 April, the Robarts Centre for Canadian Studies will host the first ever Canadian Studies (Bright Club) Comedy Night.  In the Bright Club format, researchers take their scholarly work and turn it into a stand-up comedy sketch.  Professors Jessica van Horssen (History), Kym Bird (Humanities), Priscila Uppal (English) and Sean Kheraj (History) will take the plunge in presenting their work in a stand-up routine.

The Comedy Night will close off the first Robarts Centre Graduate Student Conference, organised by Mario D’Agostino, PhD candidate in English and member of the Robarts Executive. The theme of the conference is “Canada: Place, Space and the Politics of Identity.”

The Comedy Night begins at 7.00 p.m. in the Chancellors Room, The Underground Restaurant.

All are welcome to attend the conference and the comedy night, but should pre-register by email to robarts@yorku.ca
