Queen Bee has joined other celebrities
including Oprah and husband Jay Z, who
are studied in the University. The course
is called Politicizing Beyonce and can be
taken 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 sexual 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
