Next year, Yale University will launch a new course centered on pop sensation Beyoncé, who holds a record 99 Grammy nominations and is recognized as one of the most influential artists in music history.
The course, titled “Beyoncé Makes History: Black Radical Traditions, Culture, Theory, and Politics through Music,” will concentrate on the artist's work from the release of her self-titled album in 2013 to her current album “Cowboy Carter.”
The program will analyze how Beyoncé has contributed to raising awareness about social and political ideologies.
Professor Daphne Brooks plans to use recordings of Beyoncé's live performances as a means to introduce students to the works of Black intellectuals such as Frederick Douglass and Toni Morrison.
This course, which will provide 1 ECTS credit (equivalent to 30 hours of study), will focus on the last 11 years of Beyoncé's work, exploring her influence on culture, politics, and the social environment.
