Each has its own emphasis, theoretical profile, ethos, and mission, but together they have the power to be greater thanthe sum of their parts. The volume also reminds readers that, while folkloristics may no longer be an \"emerging\" discipline, the future health of the field will need constant and careful curation.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Maria Carlson * Folklorica *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction \/ Patricia Sawin and Rosemary Lévy Zumwalt\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart I: Early Programs\u003cbr\u003e1.
