Overview
Ethnologists, folklorists, and ethnomusicologists use ethnographic fieldwork to consider how identity is shaped, maintained, transmitted, and adapted.
Features
- In the Ethnology, Folklore, and Ethnomusicology programme from University of Aberdeen, we analyse the social, political, economic, and psychological forces that construct our humanity in its widest sense—from narrating everyday life to customs and oral traditions, from beliefs to musical and artistic production, from foodways to interactions with the environment.
- We investigate how the practices and traditions of a community, region, or country relate to contemporary issues of identity and community, and how these ideas are enacted in everyday life.
