Beyoncé to Be the Focus of New Yale University Course in 2025

Kelly Tyler Published November 12, 2024

Beyoncé’s groundbreaking career has earned her a new level of recognition as she becomes the subject of a university course at Yale. The Ivy League school will offer a class titled Beyoncé Makes History in the Spring 2025 semester, cementing her place in both music history and academia.

According to Yale Daily News, the course will be taught by Daphne Brooks, a professor of African American Studies and Music. Brooks, who has long been fascinated by Beyoncé’s influence, will use the singer’s work from 2013 to 2024 as a lens to study a range of topics, including Black history, intellectual thought, and performance. The course will also explore the diverse experiences of Black women in media and politics.

Brooks’ decision to teach a class focused on Beyoncé comes after the success of a similar course she taught at Princeton University called Black Women in Popular Music Culture. “Those classes were always overenrolled, and there was so much energy around the focus on Beyoncé,” Brooks shared. “Even though the course spanned a broad history from the late 19th century to the present, I always felt that I should return to focusing on her specifically and center her work in a pedagogical setting.”

This new course at Yale will provide students with a deep dive into how Beyoncé has influenced both the music industry and societal conversations around race, gender, and politics. By examining her artistic output over the past decade, the class will offer a comprehensive understanding of Beyoncé’s contributions to culture, from her groundbreaking albums to her activism.

The announcement of this course further solidifies Beyoncé’s cultural significance, showing that her impact reaches far beyond the music charts and into academic discourse. As her influence continues to shape discussions about Black identity, power, and representation, her legacy is now being studied in one of the world’s most prestigious academic institutions.
