Yale University will be offering a course on the pop star Beyoncé.  It will focus on the last 11 years of Beyoncé's career, exploring her influence on culture, politics and the social environment.

Writes UNN with reference to Associated Press.

Yale University is launching a new course next year dedicated to pop superstar Beyoncé, who has a record 99 Grammy nominations and is recognized as one of the most influential artists in music history. 

The course, titled “Beyoncé Making History: Black Radical Tradition, Culture, Theory, and Politics Through Music” will focus on the singer's work from the release of her 2013 self-titled album to this year's Cowboy Carter. 

The program will analyze how Beyoncé has contributed to raising awareness of social and political ideologies.

Professor Daphne Brooks plans to use recordings of Beyoncé's live performances as a means of introducing students to the work of black intellectuals such as Frederick Douglass and Toni Morrison.

We will be taking seriously how the critical work, the intellectual work of some of our greatest thinkers in American culture resonates with Beyoncé's music and thinking about how we can apply their philosophy to her work,” and how it sometimes contradicts ”the black radical intellectual tradition

- Brooks said.

The course, which will provide 1 ECTS credit (equivalent to 30 hours of study), will focus on the last 11 years of Beyoncé's career, exploring her influence on culture, politics and the social environment.

Beyoncé overtook Jay-Z in the number of Grammy nominations for her album Cowboy Carter. The singer received 11 new nominations, including Best Album and Song of the Year.
