ABOUT
JAF: A Global Quarterly, has been the journal of the American Folklore Society (AFS) since its founding in 1888. The journal publishes four times a year: April, July, October, and January.
As the flagship publication of the American Folklore Society, JAF engages academic and public folklore from anywhere in the world through a wide range of materials, including blind peer reviewed scholarly articles and perspective pieces that engage with the broad field of folklore across academic, public, and applied work. Perspective pieces include commentaries, interviews, dialogs, profiles, essays that engage past publications, creative work, and other innovative formats. We also publish book reviews and features or reviews of exhibits and multimedia projects.
In its commitment to inclusion, equity, and social justice, JAF invites contributions that critically engage issues associated with race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, class, ability, religion, and citizenship.
