The same interest in horror and the supernatural that drives people to Halloween hot spots like Salem, Massachusetts also shapes our cultural and civic life in the post-pandemic, post-truth era, says University of Wisconsin Professor Lowell Brower, PhD ’19.buff.ly/4eTLxQl

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

i’ll keep saying this but for example look no further than the ku klux klan, theatrical and silly and also deadly serious

I can't stop looking at these two pictures and thinking about the strategic advantage that political incoherence provides. Was MAGA deadly serious or a total farce? It's both! Binding hostage-taking gun guys & flagwaving grandmas, the elasticity of vague ideas is their strength.

It's certainly a strange time to be teaching about urban legends, conspiracy theories, moral panics, and fake news. Just saying. #AskAFolklorist
