Beginning this upcoming spring semester, Yale University will offer a course dedicated to studying Beyoncé. The class is titled “Beyonce Makes History: Black Radical Tradition History, Culture, Theory & Politics Through Music”, and according to its course description, will use her work as a lens to examine Black intellectual thought and activism.
Following Beyoncé’s innovations and influence from her self-titled 2013 album to her latest, “Cowboy Carter,” students will analyze her albums, performance politics and concert films.
The class will be taught by writer and Black studies scholar Daphne Brooks, who co-founded Yale’s Black Sound & the Archive Working Group, a community of faculty and students working to “explore the untapped variety of black sound archives.”
