A group of scholars at IUP are getting ready for a two-day symposium that will focus on the writings of Taylor Swift.
“Taylor Evermore: A Swift Symposium” will be held on April 25th and 26th in the McVitty Auditorium inside Sprowls Hall. The event is being put on by IUP’s “Swift Studies”, a group of English graduate students passionate about Swift as not only a pop culture icon, but as a writer on the feminine experience, socio-political forces, and other significant topics.
Symposium chair Kristin Mlay-Kuhns said that the idea of the symposium came from Dr. Melanie Holm, program director of the Composition and Applied Linguistics graduate program, after her course on literature as a profession. One of the objectives of the event is for study on Swift’s writings to be taken seriously and to advance this building field of study.
The symposium is open to the public and is free to attend. Persons can attend the whole event or portions of it as their schedule permits. You can find out more at this link.
