Beyonce Feminism/Rihanna Womanism
What it's about: "Students in this class will learn that there is far more than catchy melodies to Beyoncé's and Rihanna's music. They will not be simply listening to Beyoncé and Rihanna for fun or even comparing the roles of Beyoncé and Rihanna in popular culture, rather, students will be studying how the lyrics, music videos, and actions of these women express various aspects of black feminism such as violence, economic opportunity, sexuality, standards of beauty, and creative self-expression.
