Uraian Tempat

The Folklore Program began offering courses in Fall 1983. The Programs approach is comparative and interdisciplinary, with a concern for genre, theory, performance, ethnography, archiving, and responsible public presentation of folklore through exhibits, festivals, media productions, and other modes of representation. Offerings in American folklore, including American Indian Folklore, place a special emphasis on the surrounding region. The University has one of the largest concentrations of foreign language and area studies programs in the nation and the Folklore Program is particularly strong in African, Asian, and European folklore.
