Who is benefiting and whose voices are being heard? Dr. Maribel Alvarez talks about her work and how folklore is an entryway in thinking about value, presence and representation in ways that upend the standard orthodoxies about who produces value in communities and whose voices are needed in cultural policy. She reflects on the impact of festivals such as the folklife festival in Tucson, AZ called Tucson Meet Yourself which is produced each year by the organization Southwest Folklife Alliance. This episode was recorded February 12, 2020.
