[nataliek at UALBERTA.CA]

Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to announce the publication of this year's issue of  
Folklorica, the journal of SEEFA, the Slavic and East European  
Folklore Association.  This issue is especially full and includes a  
special section on Ukrainian Folklore.  There are also articles on  
other topics, including folk religious belief, and a large number of  
book reviews (eight), two of which are longer, survey pieces.  The  
table of contents is below.

Please consider joining SEEFA.  You can download an application form  
on our website: http://www.arts.ualberta.ca/SEEFA/  We have recently  
updated this site and opened the preceeding issue of Folklorica, the  
one for 2006, to public access.
