NEW NEIGHBORS:
IMMIGRANT & REFUGEE COMMUNITIES IN THE SOUTH
May 16-18, 2008
Lutheridge Conference Center
Arden, NC


Thanks to those who joined us for the 2008 Folklorists in the South (FITS) meeting at the Lutheridge Conference Center in Arden, North Carolina. This year we explored the opportunities and challenges of working with immigrant and refugee groups in the South. We discussed current research, successful projects and new public programs.

We look forward to seeing you at FITS 2009!

FITS welcomes community scholars, public sector folklorists, academics, students and others working in the field of the traditional arts.

 

The Folklorists in the South meeting is an annual gathering of Southern academic, public sector, freelance, community scholars and graduate student folklorists for a weekend of networking, discussions, panels, professional development opportunities and fieldtrips. SAF's annual Folklorists in the South meeting is sponsored in part by the National Endowment for the Arts.
