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

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 @thejohnprice) @afsfolklorists #folklorethursday

The framing of the Folk Studies program in the response from @WKUPcal / @wku is terrible.
All we can say is please contact and share how important this program is. Raising visibility is essential.

The way upper administration shifts blame onto those doing the work is deeply problematic. All of us working in a university setting can agree that there are more demands than ever on us and upper admin most often refuses to listen. @WKUPcal @wkuherald

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

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

Folkwise is distressed by the news of losing an important and rigorous Folklore Masters Program at Western Kentucky University. The work of folklorists will struggle to continue without academic programs that specialize in public folklore and ethnographic methodologies. 🧵
