Mary is a PhD candidate at the University of Connecticut, Storrs. She studies the role of visual humor both in terms of its language-like behavior and non-linguistic modes of communication as they relate to the style, norms, and traits unique to the depictive form, with a focus on cartooning, Deepfakes, gifs, and related media. In particular, her research focuses on an underexplored aspect of visual humor: the way in which visual jokes meant to disempower a person or group can be taken up by the targeted person or group as a means of empowerment. Her areas of specialization include humor ethics, aesthetics, philosophy of disability, and gender studies.
