Hey, that’s my unfortunately evergreen course on the powers and potentials of folk traditions in the face of crisis, violence, and rupture
Are you interested in Folklore? "The Folklore of Emergency" examines the discourses of "crisis" and "emergency." To learn more information about this course and others, visit the "courses" page on the GNS website! gns.wisc.edu/folklore-cours…

@MaybeNotPayton in the hodag’s name we pray
h/t @MaybeNotPayton at Flyover Culture for making this #hodag love song, and doing all the fieldwork that went into it!
“It’s more than a creature…it’s more than an icon for the town; it’s kind of like a way of life up here in Rhinelander…[it] connects us all as one.” Watch this ode to #folklore, #supernatural storytelling, and Wisconsin’s favorite #cryptid: The Hodag! youtu.be/6zprRsGgLEo
