Some Good Folks: MA Folklore Co-op Students Available for Work

 

Availability of Folklore Co-op Students: May-Aug 2026


Students from Memorial’s Master of Arts in Public and Applied Folklore program are available for full-time, paid work terms of 12-16 weeks this summer.

Memorial’s folklore program has course concentrations in research methods, ethnography, archival studies, folktales, culture, oral history, literature, and more.  Student experience and interests include: research and cultural documentation; public event support; cultural and economic development; marketing and communications; tourism; archiving; and curating.  Assignments could include working in research, museums, heritage sites, festival planning, visual media and radio, tourism or entertainment.

Wage subsidy funding may be available to organizations hiring co-op students, through the provincial SECPAP program or the federal SWPP program.  Details about both programs can be found here https://www.mun.ca/coop/employers/funding/.
