Texas University Offers a Class Entirely Focused On Beyoncé’s Lemonade
Ohh!! It’s really an interesting one that the University of Texas at San Antonio now officially offers a class which is all related to Beyonce’s Lemonade which is going to be Titled “Black Women, Beyoncé, and Popular Culture,” the course will explore how Bey’s visual album is a “meditation on contemporary black womanhood” — then use that as a starting point to delve deep into the “theoretical, historical, and literary frameworks of black feminism.”
The class will be held three times a week, and has been divided into themes based on the arc of the album, starting with “Formation” and ending with “All Night.” Additional reading for the course will include the work of Patricia Hill Collins, Toni Morrison, and Warsan Shire, whose poetry was featured prominently on Lemonade.
But if you think that a course focused on Beyoncé and her music would be all fun and games, you better think again. In her syllabus, Brooks makes it very clear that the course will be anything but easy. And I think it will be fun course for the students that with studies they come to know about pop culture and more over about black beauty Beyonce Lemonade.
