In this episode we sit down with Levi Gettleman and Elise Suarez, two of our undergraduate seniors. Our department would not be what it is without our undergraduate program and Levi and Elise are two stellar examples. 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. Hear about their manifold activities, how Folklore and Ethnomusicology fit into their undergraduate experience, and more in this highlight episode. Enjoy!
