You Can Now Study A College Course On Miley Cyrus!
Posted on 3:38 PM by Unknown
Miley Cyrus joins the select few(Lil Kim, Beyonce, Jay-Z) who have real U.S. college courses based on their careers.
A Miley course will be offered this summer at Skidmore College in upstate New York. The class will focus on using the 21-year-old entertainer as a lens through which to view race, gender, class, and media issues.
The class will also cover a variety of topics including:
• The rise of the Disney Princess
• Gender stratification and the hyper-commodification of childhood
• Transitions to adulthood
• What happens to Disney stars as they age (see Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and more)
• Allies and appropriation
• Uses of culture across race, class, and gender • Bisexuality, queerness, and the female body
The class will be taught by visiting professor Carolyn Chernoff, the co-founder of the Girls’ DJ Collective who specializes in the “role of culture in reproducing and transforming social inequality.”
Skidmore College also happens to be one of the most expensive colleges in the US.
