Founded in 1968, the Department of Folklore at Memorial University
of Newfoundland enjoys an international reputation, and is the only
Anglophone university in Canada to offer a comprehensive program in
folklore with undergraduate, master's and doctoral degrees.
Training in folklore studies offers valuable preparation for
careers in a variety of cultural enterprises, particularly those
involving intangible cultural heritage.
Ethnographic field research practices are fundamental to folklore
studies.
Graduates of our program teach at universities and colleges in
many parts of North America and Europe, not only in folklore
departments but also as interdisciplinary appointments in fields such
as communications, dance ethnography, English, French and women's
studies.
Not all have followed academic careers; our graduates have also
gone on to work in museums, archives, print and broadcast media,
public sector folklore and arts administration.
