University to Offer Course On Singer Harry Styles

Texas State University will launch a course next year on Harry Styles, which promises to delve much deeper than just an exploration into the singer’s work. 

Louie Dean Valencia, associate professor of digital history at Texas State, announced last week that he will be teaching an Honors College course titled “Harry Styles and the Cult of Celebrity: Identity, the Internet and European Pop Culture” in Spring 2023. 

The flier outlines a broader focus on Styles and how he factors into the “cultural and political development of the modern celebrity as related to questions of gender and sexuality, race, class, nation and globalism, media, fashion, fan culture, internet culture and consumerism.”
