In this episode we sit down with Levi Gettleman and Elise Suarez, two of our undergraduate seniors. Our department would not be what it is without our undergraduate program and Levi and Elise are two stellar examples. Levi is double majoring in Folklore & Ethnomusicology and Jewish Studies focusing on Jewish folklore, rituals, foodways, and identity and their intersections with American regional cultures and identity. Elise is triple-majoring (!) in English, History, and Folklore & Ethnomusicology and is interested in researching oral and written narratives, particularly urban legends. Hear about their manifold activities, how Folklore and Ethnomusicology fit into their undergraduate experience, and more in this highlight episode. Enjoy!

Colloquium: Dr. David Todd Lawrence: The Soul to See; The Courage to Fail
This week's podcast is a replay of Dr. David Todd Lawrence's colloquium talk, “The Soul to See; The Courage to Fail: Ethnography, Relationships, and Social Change," from November 5, 2021. In his talk Dr. Lawrence offers searing insight on the nature of both collaborative research and writing and the necessity of advocacy and the inevitability of failing while doing so. Even if you were present for the talk, we think that this episode should be mandatory listening for students and scholars alike -- Enjoy!
"Building on a discussion of work with research collaborators from Pinhook, Missouri, this presentation will engage the significant challenges of collaborative fieldwork and make the argument that approaches such as Hoodoo Ethnography can direct us in the impossible yet necessary project of advocacy even as we learn to accept the inevitable failures that accompany it. Ultimately, it will make a case that human relationships within and across cultural boundaries, byproducts of deep listening and collaboration, are the foundation of social change even as they almost always are fraught with difficulty and failure."
