Levi is double majoring in Folklore & Ethnomusicology and Jewish Studies focusing on Jewish folklore, rituals, foodways, and identity and their intersections with American regional cultures and identity. Elise is triple-majoring (!) in English, History, and Folklore & Ethnomusicology and is interested in researching oral and written narratives, particularly urban legends.

Career Celebration: Dr. John McDowell with Dr. William Hansen
In this episode you will hear a conversation between two professors emeriti - Drs. John McDowell and William Hansen - celebrating the recent retirement of Dr. McDowell. Together they reflect on Dr. McDowell’s personal and professional trajectory in folklore from his early days as a music major (go figure!) at Swarthmore up through his 46 year career in the IU Department of Folklore and Ethnomusicology. Whether you are a colleague, friend, or student, we’re sure that there will be insights for you to appreciate in this episode. Ever busy, Dr. McDowell’s work is still ongoing through his involvement with the Diverse Environmentalisms Research Team (DERT). If you’re interested in hearing more about that research, check out our recent episode on the edited volume of Performing Environmentalisms.
