My alma mater @WKU Folk Studies is losing support & may have to be suspended. @WKU & WKU Potter College of Arts & Letters this program is a leader in our field,& so important especially now when work to understand & support tradition & cultural expression in both public and academic settings is critical
Western Kentucky University folk studies has produced so many amazing #folklorists both in #academia and #public sector #folklore This program is crucial in so many ways and affects American Folklore Society SmithsonianFolklife and so many others
I know so many amazing folklorists who've come out of/are currently enrolled in Western Kentucky University's folklore program--both public folklorists and academic folklorists--and they have contributed so much to the field. Losing this program would be devastating. We must fight to save it!
As President of the The Folklore Society, founded in 1878, I am concerned to hear of the threat to the Western Kentucky University Folk Studies programme. It, and other USA Folklore programmes, have been a beacon of scholarship & Impact for UK folklorists - where there are few such options available.
Folkwise has put together a #WKUFolkStudies resource guide. The greatest help we can provide to them rn is continue to raise visibility of the program’s impact on us all. #ShareYourVoice #WKU #Folklore #FolkloreThursday #Education Link: drive.google.com/file/d/1mcZjCU… American Folklore Society
The framing of the Folk Studies program in the response from WKU Potter College of Arts & Letters / Western Kentucky University is terrible. All we can say is please contact and share how important this program is. Raising visibility is essential. #WhyWKUfolkStudies #Folklore College Heights Herald wbko.com/2022/10/27/wku…
Moondance is playing in theaters across the state this November! A rogue director turns a run-of-the-mill Hollywood love story into a big band musical with the help of his crew and the out of the loop actors. Squatchagawea Films
High on my list of why folklorists have a lot of potential to rock design jobs - our field is human-centered, our academic training is human-centered. Want human-centered design? There are some specific fields in the humanities you should recruit from... interaction-design.org/literature/top…
