My Alma Mater — Rutgers University to Offer a Beyoncé Course

She’s not a teacher, but Beyoncé can teach you something. Or at least that’s what Kevin Allred, a doctoral student and lecturer in Rutgers’ Department of Women’s and Gender Studies, is betting on with his new course “Politicizing Beyoncé.”

During the semester students will examine Bey’s music videos and lyrics alongside works from women’s rights activists and authors including Alice Walker, Bell Hooks, Toni Morrison and even abolitionist Sojourner Truth. Allred will challenge his class to ponder a range of topics, including whether Bey’s racy performances are empowering or stereotypical and the extent of her control over her own aesthetic and her alter ego, Sasha Fierce.

I would take it.
