New Issue: Journal of Folklore and Education

“Teaching with Folk Sources,” now available at https://jfepublications.org

This 10th Volume of the Journal of Folklore and Education offers two issues packed with resources and content. Expanding mainstream notions that primary sources are historical documents housed in hard-to-access archives, this volume showcases archival items that expand our vision of community, self, the past, the future, art, pedagogical opportunities—and, yes, history.

Vol. 10 Issue 1: Teaching with Folk Sources

What if young people saw themselves in an archive? Recognized their families and the arts of their communities in a folklife collection? Grew curious about documenting what is going on in their communities? Explore these possibilities in Issue 1: “Teaching with Folk Sources: Listen, Observe, Connect.”

Vol. 10 Issue 2: The Curriculum Guide

Issue 2 features work by our consortium project Teaching with Folk Sources, funded by the Library of Congress Teaching with Primary Sources (TPS) program. Find frameworks and detailed lesson plans from Local Learning’s TPS consortium project members and their educator partners, organized as a Curriculum Guide.

Bibliophilia: Book Matters

In December 2024, the bilingual online journal Interfaces will issue a volume on the relation between the book, its materials and the lifeforms of the non-human world. It welcomes papers (in English or in French) showcasing the book as ecomedia that can be explored from the perspective of ecocritical intermediality. The theme of this volume will also reflect the environmental and ecocritical turn in art history, and it may prompt theoretical forays into media archaeology. The papers can cover a wide variety of sources, such as single editions or book series, publishers’ and suppliers’ archives, librarian’s catalogues and book artists’ writings. Book historians and print scholars, specialists of ecocriticism and environmental history, plant studies and animal studies, of craft and material culture, word-and-image studies and literature, are invited to submit papers on the following topics of discussion:

– Ambivalence of the book as archive of the living world

– Affordances, textuality and physicality

– Networks and ecosystems

Deadlines for submission: please send an abstract (500 words, in English or in French) and a biobibliographical note to sophie.aymes@u-bourgogne.fr before 1st September 2023. If accepted, the completed papers will have to be submitted by 29th February 2024. All submitted articles should follow the journal’s guidelines and stylesheet: https://journals.openedition.org/interfaces/530 and they will be double-blind peer reviewed. The final version of the accepted papers will have to be delivered by 1st September 2024.

Link to Form: newprairiepress.org/archives_handbook

Librarians, archivists, and educators are invited to submit chapter proposals for a peer-reviewed open-access textbook for university level students and continuing learners handling archival and primary source materials. The textbook will be divided in two sections. The first explores the myriad of primary and archival sources that students and researchers may encounter in archives, museums, and other cultural heritage institutions. Encyclopedia style outlines or lesson plans dealing with a variety of formats are encouraged. The second section will be a collection of pedagogical content for educators to implement in classes or outreach experiences, focusing on specific skills and tools and/or teaching in different learning environments. Submissions that explore working with materials related to marginalized groups or content that addresses accessibility accommodations are especially sought. Volunteer reviewers are also sought, and those submitting chapters will be encouraged to review as well. 

View the full call for submissions here.

We invite chapters for the following sections and categories (please do not feel limited by suggested topics):

Section 1: Reading, handling, and contextualizing primary source materials.

We seek two types of chapters in this section:

  1. General reference overview that outlines key concepts that would help a learner engage with the format. Consider this the – “my students are working with newspapers today, what foundational information should they know about newspapers before we start handling and reading them?” section. Anticipated length: 500-3000 words.
  2. Lesson plans focused on a specific source, or sources. Our goal is to either embed digital representation of sources discussed in the textbook or link out to them.  The source should be publicly accessible. These lessons should include an introduction that contextualizes the source and includes citations. Anticipated length: 1000-3000 words.

Types of formats we would like to explore include, but are not limited to:

  • Documents
  • Languages
  • Photographs
  • Film/video
  • Music
  • Oral histories
  • Material culture
  • Textiles

Section 2: How to Teach
