“Politicizing Beyonce” is the name of the course being taught by Professor Kevin Allred at Rutgers University. The course will explore how the singer has altered America’s views on race, sex, and gender. Professor Allred says they’ll compare Beyonce’s material with the writings of Bell Hooks, Alice Walker and Sojourner Truth, and discuss how the singer has controlled the perspective on her provocative, girlish and empowering image.
