As one of the oldest academic professions in the United States and grounded in ethnographic fieldwork, folklore has always been concerned with public service and engagement beyond the academy. Consequently, as this book demonstrates, the career applications of a training in folklore are many--advocating for local and national causes; shaping public policy; directing and serving in museums; working as journalists, publishers, textbook writers, or journal editors; directing national government programs or being involved in historic preservation; teaching undergraduate and graduate students; producing music festivals; pursuing a career in politics; or even becoming a stand-up comedian. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA comprehensive guide to the range of good work carried out by today's folklorists, \u003ci\u003eWhat Folklorists Do\u003c\/i\u003e is essential reading for folklore students and professionals and those in positions to hire them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAudio book narrated by Walter Brown.
