University offers course on the social psychology of Taylor Swift: ‘I guess I’m going back to school’

AP

Arizona State University will be offering eager students a new course this fall, called “The Psychology of Taylor Swift - Advanced Topics of Social Psychology.”

In an article from ASU News, the institution announced the new addition as a “swift” approach to learning psychology, and expressed its hope that, by using the pop star and her fans as a prime example of parasocial relationships, students will be able to explore the topic in a fun and relevant way. The course will also touch upon social psychology themes found within Swift’s songs, life, and romantic relationships as well, according to the school.
