Dr. Taylor Swift

[ss20ts]

NYU is ridiculous

"Spanos is currently teaching a course about Swift at New York University's Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music. The class, which began on January 26 and runs through March 6, critically examines Swift's career in relation to such topics as songwriting, musical influences, the music industry, feminism and race.  
...
among other things students will learn about the politics of race in contemporary popular music, and to interrogate whiteness as it relates to Swift’s politics, songwriting, worldview and interactions with the wider cultural world around her."

what a load of garbage

and I bet some students took out loans to pay for this degree and course      
morons

students loans should NEVER be granted for these degrees

I highly doubt any NYU students care what you or any of us think. The class filled up almost instantly so clearly someone at NYU was interested in the class. Lots of schools have odd fun classes like this. UMPI has an English class about Zombies. Excelsior had a class on vampires in literature. Degrees have general electives and these courses fill them. Why can't there be a fun class here and there? There's another thread about Coopersmith offering a class on the History of Ice Cream and the History of Food Trucks. Apparently people like to have some fun in life. Who knew!
