Author Talk: Misty Heggness, MSW '02, Discusses 'Swiftynomics'
The University of Minnesota Alumni Association will host an author talk with Misty Heggness, MSW '02, about her recently published book Swiftynomics: How Women Mastermind and Redefine Our Economy.
Swiftynomics explores the complex economic lives of American women through the lens of pop icon Taylor Swift. With wit and rigor, Misty Heggeness uncovers the hidden contributions women make to the economy and the value they create by pursuing their own ambitions. Drawing on rich data and cultural insight, she challenges outdated assumptions about women’s roles and shines a light on the often-overlooked productivity embedded in their everyday lives.
The author talk will be held via Zoom. To attend this free event, register for access.

The University of Minnesota campuses were built on the traditional homelands of the Dakota and Ojibwe, and scores of other Indigenous peoples who have walked on these lands from time immemorial. It is important to acknowledge the peoples on whose land we live, learn, and work as we seek to improve and strengthen our relations with our tribal nations. We also acknowledge that words are not enough. We must ensure that our institution provides support, resources, and programs that increase access to all aspects of higher education for our American Indian students, staff, faculty, and community members.
