According to the University, “They will
not be simply listening to Beyoncé and Rihanna for fun or even comparing
the roles of Beyoncé and Rihanna in popular culture, rather, students
will be studying how the lyrics, music videos, and actions of these
women express various aspects of black feminism such as violence,
economic opportunity, sexuality, standards of beauty, and creative
self-expression.” Continue....
The course, according to its listing, “Hopes
for students to understand the role black feminism plays in culture as
well as everyday".
A number of colleges have already made
similar moves; including Georgetown University which offers a sociology
course based on Jay-Z, Harvard University which offers a course on
Tupac Shakur and Rutgers University which already offers its own Beyonce
course titled "Politicizing Beyonce."
