A course poster for ANTH 2827, with a closeup view of Taylor Swift's face.

Text: New course offering with the Department of Anthropology 
What's the Deal with Taylor Swift? 
Tuesdays and Thursdays, 2:30-3:45 pm 
with Dr. Rylan Higgins 
Winter 2026 

Course description: 
The social, cultural and economic noteworthiness of Taylor Swift is hard to overstate. Her influence and wealth are staggering, her reach, spectacularly global. Her appeal to hundreds of millions of people is mindboggling. This course takes these aspects of Swift’s celebrity status as a starting point and endeavours to interrogate and understand the nature of her appeal, power and influence.

The anthropology of the celebrity reminds us that it is a social construct, the product of the public’s interactions with the entertainment industry. Indeed, celebrity figures have been referred to as “America’s royalty.” But even among this noble class, Swift stands out. In this course, we will explore Swift as a global celebrity juggernaut.

Introduction to Composition (ENGL 1100) 
Winter 2026 
Mondays + Wednesdays online! 
10-11:15 a.m.
with Dr. Seán Kennedy

Course description: 
The course teaches us how to write by teaching us how to think. The wager is that to write well means to think well. If you want to write critically you must think critically. The course text will be 'Future Howl', the latest book by local visionary Sue Goyette MA’21.
 
"'Future Howl' is a complex, exacting achievement," says Dr. Kennedy. "It is traumatic and traumatized, but also resistant and resilient. It rewards careful thought and patient consideration. To unravel its secrets, we will study aesthetics, poetics, psychoanalysis, liberal colonialism, ecocide, humanism, posthuman feminism, Alice Munro, and wolves."
