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#WKUfolkStudies

Losing a program like this also means limiting access to the world of folklore that people may not even know exists as they enter college and public programs. The field is mourning a big loss with this one.
