Using humor in a multi-cultural classroom

    Dear GDO colleagues,


    For the past three years, I have served as a co-organizer for a PDW at AoM that focuses on the use of humor in the classroom.  The PDW has been well-received and we typically see 40-60 attendees.close  Each year, we attempt to incorporate a new dynamic into this PDW and this year we would like to include a presentation on using humor in the multi-cultural classroom.  Given the strong international attendance that this PDW typically receives, we are particularly interested in finding a presenter who has incorporated the use of humor into a classroom outside of the United States.  Individual presenters are allocated approximately 10 minutes.  


    If you would be interested in participating in this session, please submit an abstract (250 words max) at the link below.
