    • Black Feminism and Popular Music . BL ST 153

    This course engages the music of Black women recording artists as popular, accessible expressions of African American feminisms that reach worldwide audiences. Beginning with close analysis of women artists' songs and videos, we read their oeuvre in conversation with Black feminist theoretical works. The course provides students with an introduction to media studies methodology as well as Black feminist theory, and to challenge us to close the gap between popular and academic expressions of Black women's concerns.

    Absolutely fantastic professor! BLST 153 was incredibly interesting, and the feedback you get on your weekly-ish journal assignments is incredibly helpful. Prof. Tinsley's very flexible with due dates, and is quite available outside of class. Really looking forward to taking another class with her!

    Dr. Tinsley is amazing. The readings/viewings/lectures are always relevant to the exams. Dr. Tinsley is very helpful through meetings and email. If you are concerned about writing/reading extensively, this course may not be for you. Your grade is determined by content based essay exams. NOT an easy A, but 100% recommended. You will learn A LOT!

    BLST106 . Tinsley O N 3 Years Ago

    I really enjoyed Professor Tinsley's class. It's a little heavy on the reading but you get to watch videos/movies as well. There were 6 reading journals and she gives you really thoughtful feedback. The class was well structured and if you put the effort you're supposed to for the reading journals and do the reading, you'll be guaranteed an A.
