Further Qualifications

I've enrolled in a new degree by correspondence from the University of South Carolina.

Students can study ‘Lady GaGa and the Sociology of Fame’.

The University of South Carolina will offer the full-time course, Lady GaGa and the Sociology of Fame, next semester.

“The central objective is to unravel some of the sociologically relevant dimensions of the fame of Lady GaGa,” the university's description reads.

Sociology Professor Mathieu Deflem, who is leading the degree-level course, said students would examine what it meant to be famous in modern-day culture. He is certainly knowledgeable on the Poker Face star – the 48-year-old professor has seen GaGa live in concert nearly 30 times. And it’s not all in the name of research as Deflem has admitted to being a superfan; he has met her five times and even runs his own fan site.

With my close connections to the diva, I'm looking at a high distinction for sure.
