ANNOUNCING: H-Folk: H-Net Network on Folklore
ANNOUNCING: H-Folk: H-Net Network on Folklore http://www.h-net.org/~folk
Member of: H-Net: Humanities and Social Sciences Online
http://www.h-net.org

H-Net proudly announces its newest addition to its family of over 180
discussion networks -- H-Folk -- in cooperation with The American
Folklore Society, The Folklore Society of Great Britain, The Folklore
Studies Association of Canada, the International Society for Folk
Narrative Research, the National Folklore Support Centre [India], and
the Socit internationale dethnologie et de folklore.

H-Folk has been created to foster better international communication
among folklorists and to increase scholarly dialogue in the field.
H-Folk encourages discussions of research, teaching, policy, and
historiography in the fields of folklore and ethnology.  In addition,
H-Folk welcomes news of major conferences, calls for papers,
announcements of fellowship and research opportunities, and links to
organization websites. H-Folk also supports the exchange of ideas and
information with scholars on related H-Net networks.  Finally, H-Folk
disseminates information about its six sponsoring organizations.  It is
a network developed in conjunction with all these organizations,
although it is open for all to join.

The H-Folk resources list (http://www.h-net.org/~folk/resources.html)

contains
information about these organizations.  Suggestions for additional
resources are welcome; please email the editors.
The goals of H-Net lists are to enable scholars to easily communicate
current research and teaching interests; to discuss new approaches,
methods and tools of analysis; to share information on online resources;
to test new ideas and share comments on the literature in their fields;
to publish quality reviews in many fields; and to support academe
through publication of the JobGuide.  All network messages are
permanently archived and searchable.

Like all H-Net lists, H-Folk is moderated to edit out material that, in
the editors' opinion, is not germane to the list, involves technical matters (such as
subscription management requests), is inflammatory, or violates the
evolving, yet common, standards of Internet etiquette.  H-Net's
procedure for resolving disputes over list editorial practices is
Article II, Section 2.20 of our bylaws, located at:

http://www.h-net.org/about/by-laws.php.  Logs and more information can
also be located at: http://www.h-net.org/~folk.
