Would you like to study Beyonce and Rihanna as a course in uni?

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."

I will study Beyonce a hundred times. Beyonce deserves to be studied because she a woman of great virtue. A great wife,mother,role model and entrepreneur. Rihanna is a complete prostitute. #jennifer

How is it madness? If Beethoven can be studied for his music, why can't these two be studied? The sooner we start to think before speaking or typing the better for us as a nation.

KRIS said...

you guys are not getting it
its not to study them as persons or their madness or crazy lifestyle
its their music,their struggle, etc. to help people that need to rise to the top to learn from them and also their mistakes and be better entertainers. Its all about the black woman making it to the top and not beign a liability to her environment...but sha dis white ppl tho ..smh

omee said...

Illuminati mind control BS At work here. Orprah also has a course. World order tins. There lyrics are penned so wisely, always with a double meaning. And since some dumb people aint catching on, they created a course.
It just shows you that there whole lives have been bought and is being stage managed with them as puppets. They act their script daily. They have sold their souls for fame.

Bro, some certain post does not need our vulgarity.. Given that this is not a porn site, some people may find it offensive even though its just sarcasm on your own side..visit www.pornhub.com for the study of female sexual organ.

Baby dont worry, Roca Wear can employ you when you after that.

Naija we beef too much......... ok those of us dat study law,engineering e.t.c how many of us ve jobs eh? the American Economy is way structured than ours for them to initiate such courses means they have well taught out after plans

MY TURN said...

Rubbish except I want to study the concept of madness!

Anonymous said...

U guys are not getting it, it is not about them. They are just been use as case studies for feminism. While our schools here use ppl that u cannot connect with like Flora Nwampa of Nija, Ama ata Ido of Ghana etc. women who leaved in the 60s and 70s there are using contemporary women who u can connect with because u can feel and see their struggles.
In Harvard there is a study of Sir Alex the formal Man. U. coach. That is the study of the legend while we are still studying Amadioha and Songo, that is why we are where we are, and they are where they are.

TBH with the amount of reporting LIB does on both characters, I might as well enrol on one or both courses and earn myself a degree to compensate for the time wasted scrolling through your website. I would also recommend they add a Kim K course - as I would never have heard of the character had I not been such a LIB addict.

For those asking who would employ you with these degrees. Isnt it obvious? Linda!! and other random celebrity gossip outlets :)

Jennykiss said...

Never!

What else is there to study abeg? When the media has never skipped any syllabus of gist about them ...entertainers these days are so discussed you would wonder when there's ever time for serious discussions of VERY NEEDED world changing subjects and how we expect our children to be any better.

But, i bet you me, some not-jobless-enough-minds have started to putting in alot of effort in making this a reality.

None of the above but if I must I rather take Beyonce
