What can you do with a folklore degree? Over six dozen folklorists, writing from their own experiences, show us.
What Folklorists Do examines a wide range of professionalsboth within and outside the academy, at the beginning of their careers or holding senior management positionsto demonstrate the many ways that folklore studies can shape and support the activities of those trained in it. As one of the oldest academic professions in the United States and grounded in ethnographic fieldwork, folklore has always been concerned with public service and engagement beyond the academy. Consequently, as this book demonstrates, the career applications of a training in folklore are manyadvocating for local and national causes; shaping public policy; directing and serving in museums; working as journalists, publishers, textbook writers, or journal editors; directing national government programs or being involved in historic preservation; teaching undergraduate and graduate students; producing music festivals; pursuing a career in politics; or even becoming a stand-up comedian.
A comprehensive guide to the range of good work carried out by todays folklorists, What Folklorists Do is essential reading for folklore students and professionals and those in positions to hire them.

About the Editor
I first want to thank those who helped create Time and Temperature, the ancestor of this book (see the introduction for details), in 1989: its editor, Charley Camp; its sixteen contributors; and the American Folklore Societys Centennial Coordinating Council, led by Roger Abrahams and Marta Weigle, which commissioned Time and Temperature in the first place.
Second, I owe deep gratitude to my teachers Pat Mullen, Francis Lee Utley, John Rheinfrank, John Vlach, Dan Barnes, Bob Byington, Archie Green, Bess Lomax Hawes, D. K. Wilgus, and Joe Wilson, and to the members of the American Folklore Society, past and present, for their generosity in sharing their learning and insight.
