Kay Turner is a public folklorist and scholar. Turner served as president of the American Folklore Society from 2016–2017.

Personal life

Turner was born in 1948 in Detroit, Michigan[1] and currently lives in Brooklyn, New York.[2]

Career

Kay Turner received her B.A. in literature and philosophy from Rutgers University in 1971. In 1989, she earned her MA/PhD in folklore and anthropology from the University of Texas. Turner's research focuses women’s studies, queer studies, and folk and contemporary art.

Before earning her PhD, Turner worked as the interim director of the Folk Arts Collections at the San Antonio Museum of Art from 1982 to 1984.[3] In 1984, Kay Turner, Pat Jasper, and Betsy Peterson founded Texas Folklife Resources.[4] She continued on as the associate director of Texas Folklife Resources until 1991.[5] Turner went on to work as director of the Brooklyn Arts Council's Folk Arts Program from 2000-2014.[6] In 2011, she joined the board of the New York Folklore Society.[7]

Turner has published articles in journals such as Journal of American Folklore and Western Folklore.[8] As a public folklorist, Turner has researched, organized, and produced public programs, museum exhibitions, and folk music festivals.[9]

Turner, who served as president of the American Folklore Society from 2016–2017, has said "To be a folklorist is to be entrusted with a diverse body of critical cultural knowledge, art, and practice and to be just ornery enough to believe the world is better off if we share it out in teaching, researching, writing, consulting, public programming, advocating, archiving, and engaging with each other as members of our Society."[10]

Along with Gretchen Phillips and Betsy Peterson, Kay Turner formed the lesbian-feminist rock band Girls in the Nose in 1985 in Austin, Texas. The band performed between 1985 and 1996.[11] Turner's work as a musician has continued as she created Otherwise: Queer Scholarship into Song, which she began organizing and performing in 2013.[12]
