True, and I wouldn't be surprised if a course on Conspiracy Theory isn't already offered as a component for some graduate degrees.
Perhaps, rather futuristically, or just idiotically, I once proposed on Off-topic (then BTS) that ATS team up with some collages, and that posts could be marked as a part of course-work.
For example: instead of writing a long essay for a term you will be marked on ten posts. You get a special "include as coursework" button for a post, and that thread will be available to the examiner.
So, as an extension to Media Studies, or English Studies (or whatever) you are marked on participation and a short report of your findings.
That does make things somewhat drab sounding, and is mixing studies with pleasure.
On the other hand it could invigorate academia and bring it into new ways of accessing style, knowledge, and so much more.
