Around Campus - Folklore in America

Posted by Andy Cunningham on April 12, 2024 at 9:45 AM

Author Eveline MacDougall (Fiery Hope : building community with the Amandla Chorus) and renown musician John Clark were recent guests in English Studies Professor Michael Hoberman's Folklore in America class. MacDougall wove together the threads of her formative years as a Québécois and  life with civil right's activists Wally and Juanita Nelson. The two performed a French inspired piece for the class. The course introduces students to the academic discipline of folklore and to a range of cultural traditions found in the United States.
