Moondance is playing in theaters across the state this November! A rogue director turns a run-of-the-mill Hollywood love story into a big band musical with the help of his crew and the out of the loop actors. @SquatchagaweaF

High on my list of why folklorists have a lot of potential to rock design jobs - our field is human-centered, our academic training is human-centered. Want human-centered design? There are some specific fields in the humanities you should recruit from... https://t.co/Gowi6XcfPT

As President of the @FolkloreSociety, founded in 1878, I am concerned to hear of the threat to the @wku Folk Studies programme. It, and other USA Folklore programmes, have been a beacon of scholarship & Impact for UK folklorists - where there are few such options available.

[Folkwise @Folkwise13]

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.

I know so many amazing folklorists who've come out of/are currently enrolled in @WKU's folklore program--both public folklorists and academic folklorists--and they have contributed so much to the field. Losing this program would be devastating. We must fight to save it!

[Jesse A. Fivecoate @jessefivecoate]

This isn’t good. Folklore has always precariously sat in the academy but we need this program (and more). WKU’s program has trained some of the best folklorists I know and every folklorist has a stake in its continued existence.

[Folkwise @Folkwise13]

To support of WKU folklorists and celebrate their work, please enjoy this video compilation of their appearances on Folkwise. Please voice your concerns about the loss of the program, and celebrate the ways WKU Folklore has impacted you.

[Folkwise @Folkwise13]

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

Imagine waking up @ 7:20am to be to work by 8:20am. You only get a half hour for lunch & it’s back to work until 4:00pm. You’re told you HAVE to do more work after you get off that is due in the am that could take anywhere between 1-3hrs.

This is what we do to CHILDREN

@DSchindlerEcon @analisapackham Build trust with your female colleagues and ask them to read you in. And accept it if they are not ready to share.

[Analisa Packham @analisapackham]

Things you may not realize your female colleagues do in academia:
-teach grad students which creepy men at conferences to actively avoid because we all know they are bad but they are still allowed to be journal editors and advisors
-go out of our way to also avoid them

[Meredith McGriff @CaughtUpInClay]

@snackowska So.... Not in folklore studies, then?

[Dr. Andrea Kitta 🎃 👻 @AndreaKitta]

@wku folk studies has produced so many amazing #folklorists both in #academia and #public sector #folklore This program is crucial in so many ways and affects @afsfolklorists @SmithsonianFolk and so many others

[Dr. Andrea Kitta 🎃 👻 @AndreaKitta]

My alma mater @WKU Folk Studies is losing support & may have to be suspended. @WKU & @WKUPcal this program is a leader in our field,& so important especially now when work to understand & support tradition & cultural expression in both public and academic settings is critical
