“It’s a hell of a thing how potently the insights of Transgressive Humor as Meaning-Making Practice land. The eye-opening punchlines—empowering and infuriating alike—land one after another in Dr. Low’s analysis, illustrating the “radical promise” of humor as a tool for transformation.” -Antero Garcia, Associate Professor in the Graduate School of Education, Stanford University, USA “If you’ve ever been the class clown, or envied one, or been afraid of one, this book is for you. David Low connects humor to social justice and transformation, and does so with compassion for every English teacher out there.” -Jessica Zacher Pandya, Dean of the College of Education, California State University, Dominguez Hills, USA “Through a crafty analysis of his experiences working with students in three schools in California, David Low invites us to open spaces for humor and comedy as possibilities for discomfort and transgression, and to make better schools. His work reminds us that when comedians are not gremlins or tricksters, they are nothing less than court jesters, happy to make oppressors smile.” -Raúl Alberto Mora, Associate Professor and Doctorate in Education Chair, Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana, Colombia
