FOLKLORE FELLOWS' SUMMER SCHOOL 2010

The eighth Folklore Fellows' Summer School will be held at the biological station of Helsinki University at Lammi on 2-8 August 2010. The title, 'After the New Folkloristics?', focuses on questions of present-day theories and methods in folkloristics. The course will, however, also continue to discuss the place of folklore studies within the humanities and within interdisciplinary studies.

The organising committee of the eighth Folklore Fellows' Summer School includes members from Finnish folklore departments, the Graduate School of Cultural Interpretations, the Folklore Archives of the Finnish Literary Society, the Kalevala Institute and the Kalevala Society. Twenty applicants may be accepted on the course. When choosing the participants, the FFSS will pay special attention to the thematic field of research interest and the motivation shown. The organisers will select the participants at the beginning of 2010.
