Oral Tradition Journal

Oral Tradition was founded in 1986 to serve as an international and interdisciplinary forum for discussion of worldwide oral traditions and related forms. Since that time, and through the end of 2006, the journal has been published by Slavica Publishers, with an additional online edition through Project Muse from 2003 onward. Founded in 1986 with the approval of the University of Missouri Board of Curators, the Center for Studies in Oral Tradition (CSOT) stands on the verge of its twentieth anniversary as a national and international focus for interdisciplinary research and scholarship on the world’s oral traditions. Our long-term mission is to facilitate communication across disciplinary boundaries by creating linkages among specialists in different fields. Through our various activities we try to foster conversations and exchanges about oral tradition that would not otherwise take place. During its two decades of existence the CSOT has established a series of paper and web publications aimed at serving a broad academic constituency. These include the journal Oral Tradition (1986-) and three series of books.
