- More about Advancing Folkloristics
Folklorists are increasingly addressing issues of class, race, gender, and sexuality in academic and public spaces in the US, and the book Advancing Folkloristics explores how folklorists can contribute to these contemporary political affairs. It also discusses how folklorists can develop critical personal narratives and apply folkloristic approaches in nonfolklore classrooms.

In recent years, there has been a significant surge in the number of folklorists engaging with issues of class, race, gender, and sexuality in academic and public spaces within the United States. This phenomenon has sparked a crucial question: How can folklorists contribute to these contemporary political affairs?
Given the multidisciplinary nature of folkloristics, it has the potential to assist others in developing critical personal narratives. The book "Advancing Folkloristics" delves into various topics, including queer, feminist, and postcolonial scholarship within the field of folkloristics. Contributors explore innovative approaches to integrating folkloristic methodologies into non-folklore classrooms, strategies for maintaining a folklorist identity without holding a formal job title, and ways to effectively communicate folkloristic knowledge to individuals outside the discipline.
The chapters in this book, which span from theoretical reorientations to personal accounts of folklore work, showcase the diverse range of tasks that folklorists are well-equipped to undertake and highlight the areas in which folkloristics is poised for growth and success.
Through its comprehensive exploration of these topics, "Advancing Folkloristics" provides a clear snapshot of the state of folklore studies today and outlines the necessary adaptations for its future development. This book serves as a valuable resource for scholars, educators, and anyone interested in understanding the role of folkloristics in shaping our understanding of the world.
