Take a look at college courses in the United States and you will find that Miss Americana, Taylor Swift, voted most likely to educate you. Many colleges – from state universities to the Ivy Leagues – use the appeal and talent of the ubiquitous pop star to teach their courses. Thousands of students have maxed out class capacity, filling online and physical classrooms to the brim. As one professor, Catherine Fairfield, at Northeastern University in Boston, said, “I think students are intellectually thirsty.”
While each course has the same theme, instructors across the country use Swift to teach subjects such as business, finance, hospitality, tourism, public relations, journalism, poetry, literature, English, copyright and trademark law, studies gender and psychology.
