COVID-19 and Humour Research
CZECH CORONAVIRUS HUMOUR – INTERNATIONAL RESEARCH PROJECT
Contribute your data to international research! We collect all examples of coronavirus-related humour (jokes, cartoons, memes, videos, clips, sketches, parodies…).
Please upload any examples, files, links to “Úschovna in IS” at:
https://is.muni.cz/auth/dok/depository_in?vybos_vzorek=437771
or
https//is.muni.cz/auth/de/chovanec
Or send them directly by email to Iveta Žákovská: 437771@mail.muni.cz
We also appreciate zipped folders with multiple examples (for instance downloaded from your WhatsApp, Messenger, Facebook, etc.)
After processing, we will share the data in the international database run by our Dutch colleague and expert on disaster humour Giselinde Kuipers.
Thank you for your help!
