Yes, apparently it is perfectly acceptable these days to centre your final University project on the wasteful silicone sacs that are the Kardashians because who wants to read about something boring like, I don’t know, current affairs or literature? Welcome to 2016 everyone.
To be fair, Eliza was studying sociology, which is a bit of a wafty subject, and she contextualised the whole thing by exploring whether the Kardashians were a “post-feminist fairy tale.” Although I could probably answer that in 29,999 less words than she did: NO.
On receiving a first for her project, Eliza said:
My dissertation mark and overall grade proved that it was an area worth studying.
Oh jeez, I bet lecturers around the country are letting out a pretty depressed sigh. First comes the essays on the Kardashians, next we’ll have photography students handing in entire folders of selfies and fashion students questioning what it means to be ‘on fleek’. The future is doomed.
