Barbara Gold, the Edward North Professor of Classics, has published an article in the book Women and Comedy: History, Theory, Practice, ed. P. Dickinson et al. (Rowman and Littlefield 2013). The article is titled "Comedy in Ancient Greece and Rome: What was Funny, Whose Humor Was It, and How Do We Explain the Jokes without Killing Them?"
The volume arose from a conference on "Women and Comedy" held at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver in 2011.
