With Dr. Simon Bronner What is the meaning of folklore? Is folklore a study of old cultures, or does it include modern cultures as well? What does psychology and folklore have to do with one another and how can they help each other explain the world? Dr. Simon Bronner, Dean of the College of General Studies and expert folklorist at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee explores a range of topics. He challenges us to recognize that jokes, common phrases, insults, children’s rhymes and more are all part of modern folklore. History, psychology, and sociology help explain the world, but folklore helps to add meaning.
