Not your typical graduation photo…

You might not think Jersey Shore is the sort of show that would spark serious academic debate, but lo and behold, the University of Chicago recently concluded a day long seminar on the dynamic and active scholarly field of  “Jersey Shore studies”. No, really.

Covering a range of topics, from “Guido Cultural Signifiers” to “the entrepeneurial labour of Jersey Shore” to even “stereotype, authenticity and the warped reality of Jersey Shore,” the event brought together academics and cultural commentators from all over the States. Sadly, not a single member of the Jersey Shore cast attended, which is unfortunate since the solid contribution of Snookie to academic discourse cannot be underestimated, not to mention Pauly D gives a killer keynote address.

You can check out the programme for this hot mess here.
