I'm Margaret "Peggy" Yocom, a folklorist in the Department
of English at George Mason University, in Fairfax, Virginia, where
I started teaching in 1977, after graduate work at the University
of Massachusetts in Amherst.
Here, you'll find information about my work at GMU, my fieldwork
in the state of Maine, and more.
