What can you do with a folklore degree? Over six dozen folklorists,
writing from their own experiences, show us. What Folklorists Do
examines a wide range of professionals-both within and outside the
academy, at the beginning of their careers or holding senior
management positions-to demonstrate the many ways that folklore
studies can shape and support the activities of those trained in
it. As one of the oldest academic professions in the United States
and grounded in ethnographic fieldwork, folklore has always been
concerned with public service and engagement beyond the academy.
Consequently, as this book demonstrates, the career applications of
a training in folklore are many-advocating for local and national
causes; shaping public policy; directing and serving in museums;
working as journalists, publishers, textbook writers, or journal
editors; directing national government programs or being involved
in historic preservation; teaching undergraduate and graduate
students; producing music festivals; pursuing a career in politics;
or even becoming a stand-up comedian. A comprehensive guide to the
range of good work carried out by today's folklorists, What
Folklorists Do is essential reading for folklore students and
professionals and those in positions to hire them. Audio book
narrated by Walter Brown. Produced by Speechki in 2021.
