Fan Culture @ Swarthmore

I’ve taken the feedback you gave me during the first week of class — questions and areas of interest for the study of fandom — and turned them into a new page, accessible from the “Questions” tab above. In transcribing your responses, I made a few small adjustments for clarity, and arranged everything in clusters of shared themes. I invite you to edit the page and adjust these categories as you see fit, adding new ones and focusing others; in addition, you can always modify the questions themselves. My hope is that the class’s questions will provide a framework for our ongoing discussions, especially as we get more deeply into the semester and trends start to emerge.
