Stanford University – Stephen Colbert Fan Research Project.

understanding-superfans-and-their-heroes-1756011 Students studying at Stanford University during the upcoming Spring Semester have the option of enrolling in the course ‘Understanding Superfans and Their Heroes’.

The unit focuses on understanding and exploring the connection between the hero and their superfans, through a hands-on, team-based, multidisciplinary class that will see students engage with superfans as they work to design principles central to those to heroes, including Dale Earnhardt, Michael Jordan and Stephen Colbert.

Recently Lecturer Michael Sturtz reached out to me asking if I could connect the class with some of Stephens biggest fans. If you would like to assist students in their research projects, please take a moment to fill out this survey by Monday, May 13th. Based on your answers, you may be asked to take part in an interview panel or as an individual interview subject for students.

Details on the class can be found on the class webpage: [Link]
