Seminar: The 2024 Presidential Election Through the Lens of Pop Culture   

In this one-time lecture, we'll delve into the multifaceted roles of pop culture in the 2024 presidential election. Pop culture, with its array of celebrities from sports, acting, music, and literature, along with cultural artifacts like songs, films, and books, now significantly influences electoral politics. We'll examine the impact of get-out-to-vote campaigns, celebrity endorsements, and candidates' utilization of pop culture elements like songs and celebrity appearances. Moreover, we'll ponder broader questions, including whether pop culture enhances democracy and the ethical implications of celebrities engaging in politics. Join us for an insightful exploration of how pop culture shapes and intersects with the democratic process in contemporary American politics. This program is being presented as a seminar with limited enrollment to foster discussion.
