Rutgers Course Inspired By Beyoncé
Friday, January 27 2012 4:48 PM EST | Posted by: Big Homie | Posted in: Blog, R&BLike her hubby, Bey’s musical influence is being taught in schools. Rutgers University’s Department of Women Studies offers the course, “Politicizing Beyoncé”. Doctoral student and lecturer Kevin Allred says:
This isn’t a course about Beyoncé’s political engagement or how many times she performed during President Obama’s inauguration weekend. Rather, the performer’s music and career are used as lenses to explore American race, gender, and sexual politics. It’s important to shift students away from simply being consumers of media toward thinking more critically about what they’re engaging on a regular basis.





Disrespectful views at Tha Kang, T.I.? Nah, Ms. Banks you're out of line. Yeah Harris' Aussie ain't that dope but neither are you. I just saw you at Coachella and I wasn't impressed. You got the look, the swag, the tough talk but where are the tunes? "212" is alright but that's where it stops. According to Jay-Z's old board rules: You have no right to diss Tip. Look in the mirror and ask yourself: How many classic albums have you created? Are you on anyone's top 10 MCs list? Do you have any hardware on your walls, ma? Cliff is right. Keep him out of the girlfight. You're heavy in these tweets, but I hope you're finding time to create music that backs up your buzz. Or you'll soon be begone like Kreayshawn. You young ladies today bore me. *Turns up Mia X CD* No Limit forever!

its called ” Fake pregnancy” by any chance?
“Rutgers University’s Department of Women Studies offers the course.”…Drake go sign up for class.
This is what a college degree entails nowadays?
ass
wow the only reason why I would want to take this class is to see how irrelevant it is to a college degree and to prove the point that people who take this class are probably ignorant enough to think they’re learning about Beyonce’s history
I used to go to that elementary school. They always got famous people to visit it. I’m a senior now.
that shit craay .. congrats bey ,, man that nigga jay is fuckin lucky
obviously none of you are in/ or went to college. sounds like a damn good elective
Where’s the backshot to this pic???
@e haha exactly
Shes looks like a white girl
broad is bad
Good post e.
You’d be surprised at how good some of these electives are. Considering that the professor is looking on her societal influence, it could turn out to be a good course. None of you were bashing the college system when Georgetown taught a course on Jay-Z. Plenty of schools have non-traditional classes such as the Wire being taught at Harvard as well as other schools.
And it doesn’t cost 40K to go to Rutgers. Its a state school. You all sound salty as hell.
@Hecate… If anything, my dear sweet illiterate cherub, it can teach you how to form a grammatically correct sentence to get your disdain across.
And you, @TacoKillah, it’s YOU’RE… YOU ARE… not YOUR.
