Currently housed within Binghamton University’s Harpur College, The Manuscript: Journal of Swift Studies (JOTSS) is a graduate student-run, peer-reviewed publication committed to advancing Taylor Swift Studies through rigorous interdisciplinary inquiry. We publish original scholarly research that critically examines Swift’s works, influence, and legacy through robust engagement with theoretical, methodological, and practical approaches in diverse fields.

As the first academic journal devoted exclusively to Taylor Swift Studies, JOTSS is a space for integrative scholarly exchange that promotes a broader understanding of Swift’s contemporary literary and cultural impact.
