AFS Sections
The American Folklore Society is home to almost 30 interest-group
sections that serve as gathering places and forums within the Society
for people with common interests in the field.
Some sections serve primarily as conversation groups, and simply
hold gatherings at the Society’s annual
meeting where section members can share news about work
in their areas of interest. Other sections are more active;
many, as you’ll see below, have their own web pages here,
and most of those organize annual meeting paper sessions or
produce their own publications, or both. A few sections give
prizes
to recognize and encourage good work in their area(s) of interest.
Follow the links below to the web pages of many AFS sections.
For information about sections with no link, please contact
the
AFS executive director.
