Folklore Professionalization
Workshops 2007-2008

The Center for Folklore Studies sponsors a year-long series of professionalization workshops for graduate students and other interested parties. In 2007-08, we return to focusing tools, skills, and information.

Students who wish to take the workshops for credit may register for one hour of independent study with a folklore faculty member: for further information, see Dorothy Noyes at noyes.10@osu.edu.
