Please join us for ¿What Are Taylor Swift Studies Anyways? A podcast where we go on an academic journey to figure out what academic lenses are best suited for examining the work of Taylor Swift. Through a series of conversations with different experts, we will examine Taylor’s oeuvre from a variety of angles and scholarly approaches as we discuss and examine her output, its influences and its impact on the world.

About the host: Ari Perez is an Associate Professor of Civil Engineering at Quinnipiac University, as well as a Fearless Stan. Since becoming a Swiftie at the tail end of the Fearless Era, he has followed Taylor’s career through multiple concert outings, observing Taylor Swift Top Friday every week, and talking about Taylor to literally everyone he meets at literally every possible opportunity. Ari believes that Taylor Swift songs are like Pokemon, books, or Real Madrid players: favourite is the descriptor of a category, not of an individual. In that category for him are I Heart ?, Fearless, You Belong With Me, The Story of Us, New Romantics, Delicate, Invisible String, The Lakes, Champagne Problems, You're Losing Me, and So Long, London.
