Call for Participation: The Caribbean People Project
The Caribbean People is a multimedia oral history project that aims to archive the ways that knowledge about the Caribbean is preserved, democratized and shared. Using a community storytelling approach, the project aims to collect stories from people and groups working in the areas of history and culture, environmental health, environmentalism and climate justice, anti-poverty community development, decolonial education and literacy, and information freedom, among others.
We are calling for participants in this oral history project. If you or someone you know is interested in being interviewed under any of the aforementioned topics, please fill out this form.

Call for Submission: Journal of Folklore and Education
The 2024 Journal of Folklore and Education seeks submissions that explore “disruption” and “migration” in relation to the process of reimagining home and tradition. They are interested in contributions that situate creativity and cultural production in moments and landscapes of flux and transformation, and how those affected by these forces forge strategies that disrupt established paradigms. Thus, topics such as identity, inclusion and exclusion, memory, transformation, and community also inform this issue.
They are interested in contributions that address, for example:
People’s experiences during and in response to migrations and/or displacements of different sorts (domestic, international, rural-urban, voluntary and forced, in response to climate, for economic reasons, etc.)
Cultural realignment (coalition building, mutual aid, rethinking/rebuilding communities);
Stories or examples of how people disrupt narratives of harm and pathology related to migration with cultural production that represents resilience, agency, transformation, generative practices
Praxis—the work we do—examples of how the work of educators, folklorists, or culture bearers/artists directly intervene in or disrupt conventions, persistent issues, or chronic conditions.
The Journal of Folklore and Education welcomes contributions in many formats, including interviews, multimedia, photo essays, notes (a shorter format report), and lesson plans. Submissions are due March 15, 2024. For more information, go to their website.
