Mission of the Center
The Center for Folklore Studies at the Ohio State University supports the learning, teaching, research, and outreach endeavors of folklorists and students of folklore. With participation from across the colleges of Humanities, Arts, Social and Behavioral Sciences, and Education, one of the Center's objectives is to provide OSU folklorists with a network for cooperation and interdisciplinary dialogue. Center activities include:- coordinating folklore course offerings across departments and advising students
- facilitating research and outreach projects of both local and international scope
- organizing lectures, conferences, and workshops
- providing organizational and financial support to folklore-related activities across campus
- maintaining an archive of over 12,000 recordings and projects, testament to over half a century of folklore research at OSU
