We’re in our Swiftie era - and now on TikTok too!

Dr. Sawaros and her class Taylor Swift and Social Change at BAScii have just launched their very own TikTok account, created and run by students as part of a hands-on social media engagement.

The goal? To explore topics like gender, activism, identity, and media through the lens of Taylor Swift - while learning how to craft viral content and manage digital platforms. From class recaps to pop culture breakdowns, it’s Gen Z magic in motion.

The Taylor Swift and Social Change course is part of CSII’s mission to keep education relevant, inclusive, and seriously fun. Designed to examine how pop culture intersects with social justice, the course dives into big themes like feminism, media representation, activism, and identity - all through the cultural impact of one of the most influential artists of our time. By analyzing Taylor Swift’s lyrics, public persona, and fan culture, students are encouraged to think critically about how narratives shape society. It’s not just about being a fan - it’s about using pop culture as a lens for meaningful discussion and social awareness.

It’s educational. It’s iconic. It’s giving ✨innovative learning✨

@csii.taylor Chat are we late to this trend? Anyways, this account is a little experiment for the class where we’ll be posting class recaps and other fun stuff 🙂‍↕️🙌 @basciiscofficial #csiitaylorswift#fyp#bascii#chula#taylorswift#university#unitok#viral#studentlife#funny ♬ original sound - csii.taylor

Fun fact: The class intro video was fully scripted and edited by students… and rumor has it, even Dr. Sawaros isn’t totally sure what she’s saying in it (we get it, Gen Z slang is powerful).
