There is a very good chance that college students will have to write the word “twerk” in their serious academic papers and that is beautiful.
This summer Skidmore College will be offering a class in "The Sociology of Miley Cyrus":

It's being taught by Carolyn Chernoff, Visiting Assistant Professor of Sociology at Skidmore.

I am interested in cities, arts, and social change, particularly on the level of social interaction and the production of "community". I investigate the role of culture in reproducing and transforming social inequality, and research conflict around diversity and difference. As a long-time cultural worker and activist, I have worked with many women's cultural organizations on issues of violence prevention, self-expression, and arts and culture. I have taught courses in education and in sociology at Penn, Moore College of Art and Design, and Ursinus College. Outside of higher education, I am a longtime community-based educator, having worked with K-12 students and adults in museum settings, nonprofits, and a variety of arts organizations, including The Girls' DJ Collective, of which I am co-founder.
The class description says that the course uses Miley Cyrus as a lens through which students can explore themes about race, gender, and identity in the media.
