FEECA is an academic forum for postgraduate research students and early-career researchers.
‘Steppin Steens o Knowledge’ (Stepping Stones of Knowledge) refers to a life philosophy of the late Stanley Robertson, a Traveller and former research associate at the Elphinstone Institute. Drawn from the incremental nature of Stanley’s ballad and storytelling traditions, the concept encapsulates both the initial career steps being taken by conference-goers, as well as the new ‘steppin steens’ being created through each participant’s research.
The conference aims to demonstrate the strength of early-career research in Folklore, Ethnology, and Ethnomusicology from around the world. Indeed, the conference has attracted papers from Europe, Australia, North America, and South Asia.

The conference has been made possible thanks to the generous support of the University of Aberdeen Development Trust, the School of Education, and the Friends of the Elphinstone Institute.
