Funding agencies, including the World Oral Literature Project's own Supplemental Grants Programme, now encourage fieldworkers to return copies of their work to source communities, in addition to requiring researchers to deposit their collections in institutional repositories. But thanks to ever greater digital connectivity, wider internet access and affordable multimedia recording technologies, the locus of dissemination and engagement has grown beyond that of researcher and research subject to include a diverse constituency of global users, such as migrant workers, indigenous scholars, policymakers and journalists, to name but a few. Professor John Miles Foley (W.H. Byler Chair in the Humanities; Curators Professor of Classical Studies and English; Director, Center for Studies in Oral Tradition; Director, Center for eResearch and Editor, Oral Tradition) from the University of Missouri has kindly agreed to be our keynote speaker and principal discussant.
