Miley Cyrus to be studied as a course in College

 Skidmore College is offering a course called "The Sociology of Miley Cyrus: Race, Class, Gender, and Media." Yes, you can study Miley Cyrus and get school credit for it at the same time.
  Carolyn Chernoff, a Visiting Assistant Professor of Sociology, will teach the class at the private liberal arts school located in Saratoga Springs, New York.
 "From Disney Tween to twerking machine, Miley Cyrus has grown in the eyes of the public, trying on and discarding very different identities onscreen and off," reads the course description. "She provides rich excamples for analysing aspects of intersectional identities and media representation."
  Some of those examples include: "Uses of culture across race, class and gender," "Bisexuality, queerness, and the female body," "The Rise of the Disney Princess," and Gender Stratification and the hyper-commodification of childhood."
