BL ST 153 - Black Feminism and Popular Music
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.
