Dr. David Clarke, Associate Professor in the Department of Media Arts and Communication at Sheffield Hallam University, UK, is preparing to launch a National Folklore Survey in the U.K.

“The National Folklore Survey, funded by UKRI Arts & Humanities Research Council (AHRC) Catalyst award, addresses the lack of robust research evidence into the cultural value of folklore in post-Brexit, post-pandemic, multicultural England. It aims to create new data to answer two research questions:”

• ‘How have folkloric beliefs and practices shaped England’s social, cultural, and spiritual identity?’
• ‘To what extent are ideas of nationalism and colonial attitudes informed by contemporary notions of English folklore?’
