Come April 2015, students at the University of Texas, Austin will be
adding a new course that will focus on Rihanna and Beyonce. This new
course, Beyonce Feminism, Rihanna Womanism, will not be available until
Spring 2015, but the University has already released some details about
the curriculum. 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
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."
