Annual Meeting Continues Online Nov 12 – 14
We are excited to continue this year’s meeting program during the Annual Meeting’s virtual days, which will kick off Nov. 12th and run through Nov. 14th. There will be panels, forums, business meetings, and professional gatherings throughout these three days.
Access to travel, for all sorts of reasons, may have prevented some presenters from joining us in Atlanta, but the virtual days are filled with folklorists from Western Europe, China, India, Turkey, North America, Japan, and Bangladesh, to name those that come to mind. Panels and forums cover a wide variety of topics, some focusing on theory, and some on applied approaches.
Only people who have activated their Fourwaves account for the 2025 meeting will have access to virtual programming, including panel sessions and meetups.
