OpenFolklore Meet Up

Facilitated by Jason Jackson.

Are you interested in helping make folklore work more accessible to more people in, and beyond, our field? From hand-folded zines to full-length documentary films, from rigorously argued journal articles to atmospheric museum exhibitions, folklorists make and share diverse work in a vast range of media. But how might we best do that sharing? This question is important in new ways in an era of great environmental and societal challenges. One needs only curiosity, not expertise, to join the Open Folklore project. As the project enters a new era, you are invited to this meetup to share ideas and learn more.
