She supported Native rights, but also promoted a now-discredited “civilization” agenda. Robert Baron will compare Fletcher's approaches with those of contemporary public folklorists who equip communities to research and present their own traditions. His lecture will explore how scholars can best share authority with communities and facilitate cultural self-determination.</p>
