This Thursday, spread the word!

Join the Folklore Program’s faculty, staff, and graduate students on February 5th to learn about what our program has to offer!

Applicants and those interested in our program will have a chance to ask our students and faculty questions about what folklore is, what our program can offer, how a degree in folklore translates into the professional world, and much more!

Hear Ye, Hear Ye, Folks! Interested in folklore but don’t quite know where to start or express your interest? GMU Folklore has several events this semester that will highlight the work of folklore at the graduate level, in the larger field, and some of the work that our GMU folklorists are up to!
