Presentation at Open Repositories 2015 (OR2015), the 10th International Conference on Open Repositories, Indianapolis, Indiana, in session P1A: Linked Open Data (LOD).
Shukla, Pravina; Goldstein, Diane E.; Griffith, James S.; Primiano, Leonard Norman
Summary:
This forum features a conversation with prominent folklorists who will reflect on their respective careers, and meditate on the past and future of our discipline. The forum contributes to the intellectual history of folklore; it will be recorded, as past forums have been, for the AFS “Collecting Memories” Oral History Project. This year’s forum will focus on folk religion and belief, by looking at the “life of learning” and the choices, chances, and triumphs of participants Diane Goldstein, Jim Griffith, Elaine Lawless, and Leonard Primiano. Pravina Shukla will once again facilitate this exchange about their academic and public work, their fieldwork and festivals, and also their important involvement in our field and in our scholarly society over the past several decades.

Here, AFS continues the custom of including a public interview with a senior member of our field at the annual meeting. In this session, Robert Baron and Ana Cara will interview John Szwed, professor of music and jazz studies and director of the Center for Jazz Studies at Columbia University, about his life and work. (Sponsored by the AFS Oral History Project.)
Folk songs have been at the heart of the study of folklore since its beginnings, and the scholarship on song is one of the finest achievements of the field. But in recent years interest in songs, especially songs in English, has waned among scholars in both folklore and ethnomusicology. Despite some continuing important and innovative work, and public fascination with the subject, song no longer seems central to folklore studies. I will argue that song is a cultural universal, indeed a cultural imperative, and exists as a system similar to kinship systems, language, and economic relations. This will be a plea to resume interest in songs, and will suggest some means by which folklore studies might again assume responsibility for understanding the role of song in human history.

Opening keynote talk by Kaitlin Thaney, Director of the Mozilla Science Lab, at Open Repositories 2015 (OR2015), the 10th International Conference on Open Repositories, Indianapolis, Indiana. Note that due to flight cancellations and delays, Kaitlin Thaney was unable to make it to Indianapolis, so her keynote talk was presented via Skype.
More than four decades have passed since the advent of the new folkloristics. Assessments of this revolution tend to narrowly focus on performance theory and not on whether the broader promises of this era have been realized, especially in areas of cross-disciplinary research. This address will look specifically at how attitudes toward historical scholarship have changed within the discipline of folklore and how we have constructed our own disciplinary histories during this postrevolutionary phase. Finally, the address will look to the future and whether we are reconstructing our past in our current graduate training in the discipline.

Jane Woods Hodge, eventually to be recognized as “Janie” Hodge, graduated from Shortridge High School in 1951 and went on to earn her undergraduate degree from Indiana University in music and then earned a master’s degree from Butler University in 1958. Woods Hodge taught music in Indianapolis Public Schools and for two years in North Bergen, New Jersey. In 1963, she headed to Indianapolis. She was a summer replacement for June Ford, working a daily magazine program with Stan Wood. In August that year she began the “Popeye and Janie” show at Channel 4. The show went until 1986 and featured cartoons, guests and features from various locations such as the zoo, Indianapolis Children’s Museum, circus and Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. With ISO Woods Hodge helped establish “LolliPop” concerts, providing knowledge about music for children. In 1986, she returned to teaching music in Indianapolis Public Schools, wrapping up her teaching career in 1998.

Folklorist Jon Kay made this short documentary for the exhibition, "Willow Work: Viki Graber, Basketmaker." The exhibit explored the work of Viki Graber a willow basketmaker from Goshen, Indiana. Viki learned willow basket weaving at the age of twelve from her father, who was recognized by the National Endowment for the Arts as a 2009 National Heritage Fellow. Where once her family plied their talents to make utilitarian workbaskets, Viki makes baskets for collectors and to sell at art shows and galleries. While using the same tools and methods as her great-grandfather, Viki's keen sense of color and innovative designs have elevated her family's craft to a new aesthetic level. Sponsored by the Indiana University College of Arts and Sciences as part of their Fall 2015 Themester @Work: The Nature of Labor on a Changing Planet, the exhibition and the video were on display at the museum from August 18 through December 20, 2015.
