I have a Bachelor of Art in Maritime Studies with a focus in anthropology. Anthropology is the objective study of cultures and how societies live(d) and interact(ed). I also have a minor in anthropology focusing on Ancient civilizations (Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, and Rome) as well as the Mayans, Aztecs, and other Native American societies.

This class presents an objective and historical view of the folklore discussed. To help us remain objective and accurate, stories will be gathered from sources directly related to the country/geographic area of origin. Some of these will include the a national heritage website from the country itself (Wales.com, guidetoiceland.is, italyheritage.com), anthropological journals (Anthrosource), and renowned compilations (Oxford World's Classics).
