But it will be her first class focused solely on the pop superstar who \u2013 among other accolades \u2013 has won 32 Grammy awards and has attained a level of political influence few in the music industry have.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Brooks\u2019s new college course offering is bound to become the latest to examine a pop culture icon\u2019s impact. Universities have also offered classes on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/music\/2023\/oct\/31\/taylor-swift-college-class-berkeley\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">Taylor Swift<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/education-11672679\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">Lady Gaga<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/2019bulletin.loyno.edu\/undergraduate\/interdisciplinary-programs.html\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">Harrison Ford<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"c228367b-b832-4621-9b3d-8ec402aeea5f\" data-spacefinder-role=\"richLink\" data-spacefinder-type=\"model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.RichLinkBlockElement\" class=\" dcr-1your1i\"><gu-island name=\"RichLinkComponent\" priority=\"feature\" deferuntil=\"idle\" props=\"{&quot;richLinkIndex&quot;:4,&quot;element&quot;:{&quot;_type&quot;:&quot;model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.RichLinkBlockElement&quot;,&quot;prefix&quot;:&quot;Related: &quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Beyonc\u00e9 leads Grammy award nominations with 11 nods&quot;,&quot;elementId&quot;:&quot;c228367b-b832-4621-9b3d-8ec402aeea5f&quot;,&quot;role&quot;:&quot;richLink&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/music\/2024\/nov\/08\/grammy-award-nominations&quot;},&quot;ajaxUrl&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/api.nextgen.guardianapps.co.uk&quot;,&quot;format&quot;:{&quot;design&quot;:0,&quot;display&quot;:0,&quot;theme&quot;:0}}\"\/><\/figure>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Brooks told the Guardian there had been \u201cwaves and waves of excitement \u2013 from undergraduates as well as graduate students\u201d about the class, as well as from \u201cfellow colleagues and staff\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">She said Yale required no convincing to green-light the class, adding: \u201cThis is the first opportunity I\u2019ve had to focus an entire lecture course on the truly astonishing and marked socio-political and intellectual shift in Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s repertoire since her 2013 self-titled album.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to exploring her body of work and considering how, among other things, historical memory, Black feminist politics, Black liberation politics and philosophies course through the last decade of her performance repertoire as well as the ways that her unprecedented experimentations with the album form, itself, have provided her with the platform to mobilize these themes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s direct involvement in politics is minimal. But she always attracts major news headlines when she does get involved.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">She sang at Barack Obama\u2019s presidential inaugurations in 2009 and 2013.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">More recently, she <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2024\/07\/22\/entertainment\/beyonce-freedom-harris-campaign\/index.html\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">gave<\/a> Kamala Harris\u2019s unsuccessful presidential campaign this year permission to use her song Freedom as its anthem.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">She also formally endorsed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/kamala-harris\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">Harris<\/a> and made an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8qQ23AOTTSk&amp;ab_channel=Beyonc%C3%A9\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">appearance<\/a> at her rally in a packed stadium in her home town of Houston, Texas, where fans were hoping that she would perform, though she did not.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cI\u2019m not here as a celebrity,\u201d Beyonc\u00e9 \u2013 one of the top streamed artists of all time \u2013 said at the rally. \u201cI\u2019m not here as a politician. I\u2019m here as a mother \u2013 a mother who cares deeply about the world my children and all of our children live in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Classes like the one Yale is offering on Beyonc\u00e9 often draw significant student interest. The Taylor Swift and her World class at Harvard enrolled 300 students when it was first offered earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Brook\u2019s Beyonc\u00e9 class will be offered by multiple departments, including those of African American studies, women\u2019s gender and sexuality studies and American studies and music.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/education\/2024\/nov\/11\/beyonce-course-yale-university\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Students at Yale University are getting the chance to take a class entirely devoted to Beyonc\u00e9, school officials have announced.
