Welcome to the
Department of Folklore and Ethnomusicology!
2008-2009 Graduate Student Handbook
(To reach a section, CTRL+Click in the Table of Contents)
The Department of Folklore and Ethnomusicology consists of two institutes – the Ethnomusicology Institute and the Folklore Institute. The department offers BA, MA and PhD degrees. The two Institutes operate both independently and cooperatively to offer students a rich environment for study of the world’s creative and expressive forms.
The nexus of Ethnomusicology and Folklore in one department fosters the integration of common interests, while department resources and faculty specializations allow for concentrated exploration of interests particular to each area.
The Department is especially strong in the study of:
Performance studies
Ethnographic theory and research
Comparative epistemology
Multimedia presentation and preservation
Heritage, intellectual property and cultural policy
Area studies
Concentrations in both Ethnomusicology and Folklore focus on the cultural contexts as well as the experiential and cognitive aspects of:
Expressive forms
Material and visual culture
Music and verbal arts
Identity
Worldview and belief
