Advanced Folklore is an in-depth study, which includes fieldwork, of one or more folklore genres and their application in literature and in the contexts of Appalachian and other cultural communities and their presentation for the public. In addition to knowledge of global roots, and interdisciplinary methods drawn from the humanities and social sciences, students will have opportunities to conduct original field research cutting across disciplinary and theoretical approaches. This semester will focus upon traditional music, as well as foodways and folklore’s transformation into literature, and public presentations. Special topics may be integrated.
The featured image is an example of opportunities available to students through this course. Students who play music or don’t, who would like to produce traditional concerts, and those interested in the history of Appalachian tradition music are invited to join the class.
