When law professor Sean Kammer's friends told him they were skeptical about the seriousness of his upcoming course focused on Taylor Swift at the University of South Dakota, it was his chance to do what any Swiftie would do: Shake it off.
“I understand this sounds ridiculous, at least at first glance,” said Kammer, a self-avowed Swiftie. “But it’s not.”
After attending a Swift concert in Minneapolis in June, Kammer said he was inspired to develop the writing-intensive class, available to second- and third-year law students. The course will look at the musician’s interactions with the law, such as her rerecording of six albums and related copyright issue, Kammer said. It will also examine how individuals' own experiences and beliefs shape how they interpret the law — much like how they interpret her song lyrics.
Boston University law professor Jessica Silbey, who co-authored a textbook on pop culture and the law, said students tend to be more engaged when they study subjects such as sports, new technology and celebrities. South Dakota Law isn’t the first academic institution to tap into the Swift sensation. The University of California at Berkeley this week announced an upcoming business course based on Swift’s entrepreneurship. Stanford, New York University and the University of Texas have also offered Swift-inspired classes. But Kammer’s course is the first legal exploration of her music and career.
