UNIVERSITY OF SUSSEX, 9TH JUNE 2018
Women have always been central to the study and practice of folklore,
arts and cultural traditions - as tradition bearers, performers, authors, collectors, storytellers and scholars. However, their contribution hasn’t always received the recognition it deserves; this symposium aims to redress they baliance. We are inviting 20-minute
papers/presentations and A1 poster presentations on relevant topics, which may include:
• Singers, dancers, musicians, storytellers, and other performance roles
• Performance styles, repertoire and source
• Facilitators, revivals and teaching
• Contributions to scholarship
• Legacies and archives
• Gender relations in folk cultures
• Life narratives, autoethnographies, biographies, and oral histories
• Depictions of women as subject matter in song and story
• Portrayals of women, gender roles, and identity
• Perspectives on the future for women in ‘the folk’
We welcome applications from all levels within academia, as well
as from independent researchers, writers and enthusiasts.
