As we’ve announced previously, we are one of three university presses sharing a Mellon Foundation grant to fund a new series called Folklore Studies in a Multicultural World. Our partners in collaboration are the University Press of Mississippi and the University of Wisconsin Press, with the American Folklore Society.

For reasons having nothing to do with foolishness or federal taxes, the deadline for receipt of grant proposals for first books in the series has been extended from April 1 to April 15.

You can learn more about FSMW and the submission guidelines at the series homepage, on its Facebook page, or on its Squidoo page. By popular demand, we remain Twitter-free.
