American Singer, Beyonce a.k.a Queen Bee has joined the likes of Oprah Winfrey and husband Jay Z who are been studied as a course in the University. A George town University presently offers a sociology course named Jay Z, the new course created to study Beyonce is called Politicizing Beyonce at Rutgers University in New Jersey.
The University’s Department of Women’s and Gender Studies will be exploring the social & cultural significance of the songstress’s music and image.
The course will allow fans to explore Beyonce’s alter ego Sasha Fierce, and debate the extent of control she has over her own image. They will also debate whether her red hot persona is an outlet of female s*xual empowerment or merely complying with western gender stereotypes. “This isn’t a course about Beyonce’s political engagement or how many times she performed during President Obama’s inauguration weekend. She certainly pushes boundaries. While other artists are simply releasing music, she’s creating a grand narrative around her life, her career, and her persona.’ Kevin Allred, the person in charge of the course at Rutgers University said
