Title: University of Missouri Folklore, Oral Tradition, and Culture Studies

URL: http://folklore.missouri.edu/

Description: Advantageously situated within the Department of English with an emphasis on theoretical and writing strategies, the study of folklore at MU offers a unique opportunity for a truly interdisciplinary experience. With associated and affiliated faculty in Religious Studies, Sociology, Classical Studies, Anthropology, Women and Gender Studies, Theater, Art History, African Diaspora Studies, and Romance Languages, just to name a few, and the range of theoretical approaches students can explore increases even more. Folklore itself doesn’t exist in a vacuum: at MU, we believe the study of folklore shouldn’t either.

Title: Folklore at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

URL: http://folklore.unc.edu/

Description: The Folklore Program at the University of North Carolina emphasizes the study of creativity and aesthetic expression in everyday life and the political implications of that expression as it unfolds in contested arenas of culture. The study of folklore focuses attention on those expressive realms that communities infuse with cultural meaning and through which they give voice to the issues and concerns that they see as central to their being. These realms are often deeply grounded in tradition, yet as community self-definitions develop and change in light of shifting social, political, and economic realities, community-based artistry likewise evolves. Folklore thus moves beyond the study of the old and time-honored to explore emergent meanings and cultural forms.

Description: The Goucher College M.A. in Cultural Sustainability brings together knowledge from anthropology, history, folklore, ethnomusicology, communications, business and management, linguistics, and activism to teach students how to effect positive, community-driven change in the cultures they care about most-whether it be an African village, an American inner-city neighborhood, a remote tribe in Asia, or a threatened public space just down the street. The discipline of cultural sustainability can be and will be applied wherever valued ways-of-life are at risk.
