Graduate study in Folklore

[nataliek at UALBERTA.CA]

Dear Colleagues,

The Ukrainian Folklore Program is accepting applications to its  
graduate program in the Department of Modern Languages and Cultural  
Studies at the University of Alberta.  The program offers both the MA  
and PhD degrees.  Courses cover the verbal arts, both prose and  
poetry, material culture, ritual practices in Ukraine and Canada,  
folklore theory and methodology, and folk belief.  Students may choose  
fieldwork in either Ukraine or Canada or a combination of the two and  
a recent agreement with the Rylskyi Institute of the Ukrainian Academy  
of Sciences should expand field and archival research possibilities in  
Ukraine.

Opportunities for language training are excellent and students may  
include work in Lviv as part of their program.  Courses in fields  
related to folklore include humanities computing, anthropology, museum  
studies, and ethnomusicology, along with a wide range of choices in  
other departments.  Our degrees prepare students for a variety of  
interesting jobs and recent graduates have found employment in  
academe, in museums and historical preservation facilities, in  
archives, and in the public sector, notably working with immigrants  
and in medical humanities.

Graduate support is generous and students typically work as both  
teaching assistants and research assistants.  Research assistantships  
include database and archival work and thus contribute to training and  
employability.
