AFS Review
Filter news by category:

The AFS Review publishes a wide range of materials, including essays, notes, queries, as well as all the materials once included in the AFS Newsletter (news, reports, job postings, program listings, etc.). The goal of the AFSR is to give us a place to reflect on, revise, or refine the things we do every day that actually instantiate folklore studies in the world, by providing a space to publish new conversations, and to capture conversations that are already taking place, in various forms of communication, among and by practicing folklorists.

Please send all AFS Review submissions to the AmericanFolkloreSociety@gmail.com, for the attention of AFSR editor Sally Van de Water.
