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.

Description: This web site — and a complementary exhibition that was on display at the National Heritage Museum from May 18, 2008-June 7, 2009 — draws on eight years of fieldwork by folklorists at the Massachusetts Cultural Council. This investigation took researchers into homes, dance halls, boat yards, places of worship, and festival sites — places where folk art is produced, used and valued. They found, talked with, photographed, and recorded people practicing folk art traditions, with the goal of understanding these practices from an insider's point of view.
