Abstract

This year the biennial Folklorists in the South (FITS) Retreat centered on the theme of “the Power of Our Stories” and explored story as both a medium for communication and an approach to folklore practice. Held at the Gray Center neighboring historic Canton, Mississippi, presentations, workshops and discussions ranged from highlighting projects and artists that illuminate story forms, to leveraging our stories for advocacy, to publishing our findings, to considering the application of narrative approaches in the field.
