He has written several books, and under the pseudonym Jean Arceneaux he has written Cajun French poetry and lyrics to Cajun French songs. Education and careerBorn in Church Point, Louisiana, he graduated from the nearby University of Southwestern Louisiana (now named the University of Louisiana at Lafayette) with a Bachelor of Arts in French in 1974. He received a Master of Arts in folklore from Indiana University in 1977, when he began teaching French at the University of Southwestern Louisiana. Later he also taught folklore and Francophone studies at the university. Ancelet obtained a doctorate in Études Créoles (anthropology and linguistics) from the Université de Provence (Aix-Marseille I) in 1984. He co-founded the Tribute to Cajun Music in 1974, which became the annual Festivals Acadiens. Ancelet has served as chair of USL's Department of Modern Languages and as the first director of the university's Center for Acadian and Creole Folklore — regarded as the largest compilation of media resources pertaining to these two south Louisiana ethnic groups. He hosted the Rendez-vous des Cajuns live weekly music radio program on KRVS for more than a decade. Honors and awardsIn 2005 Ancelet was named the Willis Granger and Tom Debaillon BORSF Professor of Francophone Studies at UL. The French government awarded Ancelet the title of Chevalier in l'Ordre des Palmes académiques, an honor reserved for those whose scholarly pursuits are deemed to contribute significantly to French culture. In 2006, Ancelet was made a Chevalier in l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres de la République Francaise, which honors those who have made important contributions to art and literature. On receiving the award, Ancelet noted, "I thought it was a very lovely honor, but I was also sort of intrigued by the irony of being knighted apparently for spending my whole career trying to honor the culture of ordinary folks. . . . I feel it's an honor not only for myself, but the entire Cajun and Creole society that I have always been interested in exploring and celebrating and validating. I feel like I'm going to be wearing this award in the name of an awful lot of people."[2] In 2008, he won the Américo Paredes Prize by the American Folklore Society. In 2009, he was named Louisiana "Humanist of the Year" by the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities. Ancelet is also a member of the l'Ordre des francophones d'Amérique, in Quebec, Canada, a fellow of the American Folklore Society, and a fellow of the Center for Cultural and Eco-Tourism at University of Louisiana at Lafayette.
