[Commlist] CFP: The Taylor Swift Unconference

CFP: The Taylor Swift Unconference


On July 4, 5 and 6, Taylor Swift will perform in Amsterdam, consequent 
to the /Celebrity Studies/ Conference in Amsterdam (1 - 3 July 2024). 
The combination of these events offers a unique opportunity to gather, 
celebrate, and critique the multifaceted persona(e) of an increasingly 
iconic performer and songwriter. As the inaugural meeting for the 
European Taylor Swift Research Network 
<https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A0=SWIFTSTUDIES>, we hope 
this unconference will generate new insight into the emerging field of 
‘Swift Studies.’

This unconference 
<https://educationprogram.duke.edu/what-unconference> brings together a 
select group of like-minded scholars to delve into the nuances of Taylor 
Swift’s artistry, cultural impact, and personal evolution through an 
interdisciplinary research lens. The format is open, flexible, and 
therefore dependent on proposals received. We aim to foster a space of 
inclusivity and interdisciplinarity, blending presentations and 
break-out discussions in order to share research, encourage idea 
generation_, _and to spur__new collaborations.  At the end of the day, 
we hope to have established the groundwork for a special issue of /IASPM 
Journal/ on the star while also considering the future of the research 
network and potential collaborative efforts.

To participate, please send a 150word proposal outlining what/how you 
would like to contribute to the unconference event, addressing__how the 
group would benefit from your contribution/attendance.

Date: 4th of July, 10:00 - 17:00.

Location: University of Amsterdam
