National Folklore and Folklife Organizations
Traditionally, academic and public/applied and independent folklorists have worked in separate realms, developing different sets of skills and diverse ways of working in their communities.

There are even some professional positions that draw upon public and academic folklore, hosted either by an arts service organization or an academic institution, so there is potential for combining public and academic work in one career.
