Courses on celebrities have long
been offered in universities, and
now University of Austin, Texas is
introducing a new one.
The course is titled “Beyoncé
Feminism, Rihanna Womanism”
and will begin in the school’s
2015-spring semester.
The course will focus on “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.”
As associate professor Natasha
Tinsely, who works in the
Department of African and
African Diaspora Studies at the
University of Austin at Texas,
sums it up: she hopes that the
course will shed light on the role
black feminism plays in popular
culture as well as everyday life.
