Folklorist Retreat

The Foundation sponsors a bi-annual retreat for the region’s folklorists. This gathering gives academic, public sector and independent folklorists the opportunity to meet in an informal setting to network, share information about programs, and explore potential collaborations and partnerships. It is also an opportunity to share best practices, learn new skills, and gain exposure to new theoretical models. The location varies from year to year. The 2012 Retreat was held May 22-25 in Saratoga Springs, New York.
