Annelot Prins

Annelot Prins is pursuing her PhD in American cultural studies at the Graduate School of North American Studies at the Freie Universität, Berlin. Her research is grounded in feminist theory and combines audience research with celebrity studies to theorize the rise and reception of celebrity feminism in contemporary US-American pop music. Previous work consisted of an intersectional analysis of Beyoncé’s star text, and she has engaged representations of white female sexuality in the oeuvres of Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus in her work, leading to publications and media appearances in these areas.
