Two websites published with your education needs in mind.<\/strong>
\nhttps:\/\/LocalLearningNetwork.org<\/strong><\/a><\/u>
\nThe Local Learning website offers advocacy tools that share the value of folk arts in education and resources that include learning activities and research that are searchable by theme, topic, and subject. We have also continued to maintain and update our national and regional folklife map–pointing visitors to organizations and individuals near them. We also invite all our visitors to learn more about why they might want to bring Local Learning staff and consultants into their school, museum, or community to build resources, learning activities, and deeper understanding of shared assets. Have feedback or updates you want to see on our website? Contact us.<\/a><\/p>\n

https:\/\/JFEpublications.org<\/a><\/strong>
\nWe have invested in the\u00a0Journal of Folklore and Education<\/em> (JFE) as the flagship journal of Local Learning and for the field of Folklore and Education. Housed in the website JFEpublications.org<\/a>, you can search by author, find full citations for the articles, browse by theme and issue, and more easily sort by subject, theme, and topic.<\/p>\n

Announcing publication of Death, Loss, and Remembrance Across Cultures.
\n<\/strong>This volume fills a needs that we were hearing from teachers and culture workers around the nation, and considers the complex and complicated relationship(s) people have to death. Folklore can be a resource in helping heal from the trauma of loss and death while also aiding ongoing efforts to reckon with historical trauma from our shared histories. Such healing and reflection can occur through cultural practices of remembrance and the building of educational practices that promote temporal literacy.<\/p>\n
