If you are a graduate student conducting research in humor studies, consider applying to the ISHS Graduate Student Awards (GSA). The award of US$ 250 aims to recognize outstanding contributions to the field. The recipients will also have the chance to present a paper at a special ceremony during the next ISHS Conference.

• be an ISHS student member working toward a masters or doctoral degree
• register for and attend the 2026 ISHS Conference
• submit an independently written conference paper (papers co-authored by an advisor are ineligible)

• an application letter indicating that you are competing for the Graduate Student Award and a description of your research program within humor studies
• a curriculum vitae
• a conference paper abstract by May 30, 2026
