Occupational Lives of Religious Workers in Kentuckiana

In 2022, folklorist Taylor Dooley Burden of Rockport, Indiana, received an Archie Green Fellowship to document “The Occupational Lives of Religious Workers in Kentuckiana.” Burden notes that “For most who participate in a religious tradition, their faith is personal and often private. For religious leaders, however, their faith is also their occupation.” For this collection, she interviews religious leaders in Protestant, Jewish, and Greek Orthodox congregations in the region of southern Indiana and central Kentucky known as Kentuckiana to document “the vibrant and diverse occupational folklife of those serving God and their communities as their life’s vocation.”
