Biography and Expertise
I’m a folklorist, curator, and professor. I’m Associate Curator of Arts & Leisure and the John W. Emery Family Associate Curator of Oral History at History Colorado. My work explores various intersections of culture, identity, and traditional arts through storytelling.
I’m the editor of Folk Heroes and Heroines Around the World (Greenwood, 2016), America Goes Green: An Encyclopedia of Eco-Friendly Culture in the United States (ABC-CLIO, 2012), and Folklore: An Encyclopedia of Beliefs, Customs, Tales, Music, and Art (ABC-CLIO, 2010). I’ve also contributed to Women’s Rights in the United States, The Encyclopedia of African American Music, and The World History Encyclopedia.
I’ve been teaching at the college level for more than 25 years, teaching courses in English, writing and research, folklore, education, and ethnic studies.
