We have hosted a number of WKU folklore alums on Folkwise. We are working on a video compilation! Please voice your concerns about the loss of the program. #WKUFolklore #WhatFolkloristsDo #PublicFolklore #Folklore #FolkloreThursday

Losing a program like this also means limiting access to the world of folklore that people may not even know exists as they enter college and public programs. The field is mourning a big loss with this one.

To support of WKU folklorists and celebrate their work, please enjoy this video compilation of their appearances on Folkwise. Please voice your concerns about the loss of the program, and celebrate the ways WKU Folklore has impacted you. youtu.be/ShrAkQIYC3c

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…

Very sad to hear about the passing of John M. Vlach. He was a one-of-kind folklorist who was never afraid to push boundaries and follow his instincts. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him and benefitted from his work. (By John E. Price) American Folklore Society #folklorethursday

Bogo deal -- White Goddess has had the most overall impact, but Monaghan, imo, is more insidious b/c people *realized* WG was bunk -- Monaghan's is cited on Wikipedia + used in research. One is Grave's (misogynistic, racist) poetic fantasies, the other cosplays as "scholarly"

As a folklorist? The works of Joseph Campbell. As a fairy-tale scholar specifically? The Uses of Enchantment by Bruno Bettelheim.
