(Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) Ryan Davis, an associate professor of political science at Brigham Young University, is teaching a philosophy course this term that incorporates the lyrics of Taylor Swift. Once word got out, the son of a colleague gifted a life-size cutout of Swift to Davis as a joke. Davis is pictured by his office on campus Wednesday, Jan. 17, 2024.
