Abstract
This chapter focuses on recognizing humor as a powerful resource for visitors from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds who are new to learning contexts, such as museums and aquariums. By using humor, visitors negotiate hybrid learning spaces, as well as gain authority in informal settings. Humor… serves a number of functions—social cohesion or rupture, the cementing of relationships… persuasion through the distraction of entertainment, and the simultaneous challenge and reinforcement of the status quo.
