Prof. Maggie Hennefeld on Satire in the Age of Trump

from The Biblio File hosted by Nigel Beale · host Nigel Beale, The Biblio File

November 30, 2017 marked the 350th anniversary of the birth of one the world's great satirists, Jonathan Swift. To honour the occasion I thought it would be fitting to interview an expert on humour, in this, the age of Trump. So I met recently with Maggie Hennefeld, Assistant Professor of Cultural Studies & Comparative Literature at the University of Minnesota, in Minneapolis. We discuss her article Laughter in the Age of Trump that appeared in Flow an online journal of television and media studies. This is a public episode.
