4:45 pm–6:15 pm | Chair: Mary Hufford (Livelihoods Knowledge Exchange Network) discussant Galit Hasan-Rokem (The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, emerita) Panelists Robert Baron (Goucher College) Amy Horowitz (GALACTIC/ Indiana University) Solimar Otero (Indiana University) Amy Shuman (The Ohio State University, emeritus) Dan Ben Amos (1934-2023) charted the late 20th-century trajectory of folklore studies early on in his career, with his influential writings on genre, context, and performance. In this session, four of Dan Ben-Amos’s students and mentees reflect on his ongoing scholarly contributions to folklore theory, and to the subfields of Jewish Studies, African Studies, Narrative Studies, and Folklore Theory and Practice. To honor Dan Ben-Amos’ continuing commitment to dialogue, our panel will engage a dynamic discussion of some the central concepts he introduced and that have become part of all dimensions of folklore research, teaching and practice. Following ten minutes of reflection from each of the panelists, Galit Hasan-Rokem will serve as discussant, opening the session to contributions from the floor. |

8:30 pm–10:00 pm | Sponsored by: Chair: Junious Lee Brickhouse (Urban Artistry Inc.) and Stephen D. Winick (American Folklife Center) Sometimes his students, sometimes his collaborators, and certainly his friends, Ben Hunter and Junious Brickhouse join National Heritage Fellow Phil Wiggins in a conversation about African American expressive art forms and why dialogues must continue across forms, the importance of mentorship and intergenerational work, and the legacies we leave through performance practice and through our relationships. In this panel, these artists will discuss the whys of their work, the communities of practice that tend to these roots in the present day, and the mentorship important for stewarding these traditions into the future. The session will undoubtedly include some performance and dance as these long-time colleagues make space together. |
