This dizzying array of topics reveals the complexities of folkloristics and the considerable intellectual and ethical affordances of working in a transdisciplinary manner to highlight the meaning-making processes of vernacular culture(s) and their practitioners. The end of this foray is hardly an end at all, but rather a road map for the future of the discipline.\u003c\/p\u003e - T. R.

Overall, the collection will be thought-provoking for practicing folklorists, as well asthose teaching and training aspiring folklorists.\u003c\/p\u003e - Martha Sims (Journal of Folklore and Education) \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAdvancing Folkloristics \u003c\/i\u003earrives at a pivotal moment for the intersecting trajectories of our field and the United States.

Contributors investigate how to apply folkloristic approaches in nonfolklore classrooms, how to maintain a folklorist identity without a \"folklorist\" job title, and how to use folkloristic knowledge to interact with others outside of the discipline. The chapters, which range from theoretical reorientations to personal experiences of folklore work, all demonstrate the kinds of work folklorists are well-suited to and promote the areas in which folkloristics is poised to expand and excel. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAdvancing Folkloristics\u003c\/i\u003e presents a clear picture of folklore studies today and articulates how it must adapt in the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword: Challenges and Possibilities across Boundaries, by Margaret A.
