Research summary
AI-generated

Dorothy Noyes works in folklore studies and cultural heritage, examining how traditions, rituals, and shared examples shape group identity and collective life. Recent work extends into how ritual and 'exemplarity' (using examples or models to persuade or organize behavior) operate in global politics and international relations, alongside continued folklore scholarship on topics like collective creation, common sense, and everyday talk.

Publication output has been uneven over the past decade, with a high in 2017, a lull around 2019-2020 and 2024, and a sharp spike in 2025 tied to a single edited volume with many chapter-level entries.
