Folklore Careers Anyone?


There's not much fairy tale news right now but to give you a break from all my talk of Snow White and Sleeping Beauty, here's a great guide to Folklore Careers from the Center of Folklore Studies.

Of course there are many ways to incorporate a love for fairy tales into your career, but a degree in folklore is a great place to focus on it.

  1. Heidi, just a heads-up: the first two links are not working. They both take me to a "page not found" page on the OSU website.

  4. Hey Heidi! Just a head's up, I know that a couple of the PhD programs you listed above have sadly been shut down - both Penn and Berkeley are no longer accepting new PhD students in folklore :(. As a current M.A. student in Folklore at George Mason, it's really getting to be a big worry!
