Happy end of #AFS2025! Superstar #folklorist Andrea Kitta came to say goodbye & was a good sport about letting us photoshop her books into her photo bc they sold out.

Yeah, that’s right. I made a necklace for LEGEND TRIPPING because that’s just the kind of silly little editor I am.
Shoutout to our friends at the Arkansas Folk and Traditional Arts Center for supplying the beads! #AFS2025

I'm riding that last-day-of-conference high so first person to come to the booth and buy one of our few remaining display copies gets a super secret surprise 🤫 #AFS2025
Happy fall #bookstack 🎃
Need some #folklore reading for the holidays? We've still got these last couple of display books left on our final day at #AFS2025. 10 for a book? In this economy? Stop by our booth to pick one up!
Yesterday at the American Folkore Society conference we met Simon Bronner and Amy Milligan, two editors of the Wayne State University Press journal, Jewish Folklore and Ethnology. #afs2025

author Elena Emma Sottilotta with Seekers of Wonder &
University of Hawaii Press author Phillip Mc Arthur with his book, Dialogues with a Trickster #AFS2025
Day 1 of our American Folklore Society exhibit resulted in 3 author photos, the first of which is Wayne State University Press author Kimberly J. Lau with her award nominee, Specters of the Marvelous. #AFS2025
V important update: there’s a Tim Hortons (next to a gentlemen’s club?) by the hotel so I’ve added donut holes to my repertoire of booth treats 🍩
**add witty connections between donuts and folklore here
#AFS2025
We love an author/book photoshoot. Diane Goldstein is here with her book BEHIND THE MASK: VERNACULAR CULTURE IN THE TIME OF COVID. Display copy still available for $10! #AFS2025
I might be having too much PUN at this conference (I dunno is this sign a pun, technically?) #AFS2025
Always nice to see friendly faces! Especially the prolific Lynne S. McNeill representing not one, but two of her books (not to mention FOLKLORE RULES, not pictured here) #AFS2025
Ya’ll these $10 books are going fast… we’ve technically been open just 15 min and 5 display books sold and reserved already. Don’t sleep on the exhibit hall today! #AFS2025
When your excoworker bestie @theweaknessinme.bsky.social attends #OHA2025 in the same hotel as #AFS2025 just one day apart and resorts to hiding you a secret pumpkin with note somewhere in the building 🤣
Off to ATL for #AFS2025! (And bringing NYC bagels in my carry on for a friend like some kind of carb drug mule)
Though there's a lot of overlap bet/n @spinstersounds.bsky.social & my folklore work, the Ella Hanshaw record is the first to really bridge those 2 worlds directly. Excited to talk about that with 2 of my favorite feminist folklorists & musicians at the big #AFS2025 folklore conference this weekend.
Who's going to be at #AFS2025 this weekend?
The @folkloresociety.bsky.social American Folklore Society conference has shifted to a Sunday-Tuesday format this year & you'll find the book exhibits on the Crowne Plaza's ballroom level. Stop by on Sunday morning--we've got an amazing selection of books waiting for you! #Folklore #afs2025
At #AFS2025 in Dakar 🌍 engaging on the Africa Fertilizer & Soil Health Nairobi Declaration. Healthy soils and smarter nutrient use, including phosphorus, are vital for resilient and productive food systems.
Last week, our lab attended our first national American Fisheries Society meeting in San Antonio, TX! 🐟🎣🦈
