Folklife is the knowledge, expressions, and ways of living passed down through cultural communities around the world. In this workshop, cultural anthropologist Tony Kail shares his experiences collecting folklife during his fieldwork in the Mid-South. Kail will share his work collecting oral traditions, beliefs and material culture among different communities in the state. Following the presentation, participants are invited to create their own Story Journal - a space to inscribe personal experiences that cultivate their personal folklife.
