More Information
Summary:Joy's thorough detailing and analysis of survey data, originally elicited for a term paper, was a foreshadowing of work to come. Haggis was also the focus of her book manuscript, tentatively titled “Addressing the Haggis: Culture and Contestation in the Making of Scotland's National Dish,” unfinished at the time of her passing, that was to be published as part of the Folklore Studies in a Multicultural World series with the University of Wisconsin Press. Long a subject for scholarly research in and beyond Newfoundland, Joy's long-term interest centered on the murder of Isaac Mercer in December 1860, not long after which mumming was banned in the then-colony.
