Yale University is offering a course this semester that focuses on singer Beyoncé and her impact on the "black radical tradition" and "black feminist" thought. The course, titled "Beyoncé Makes History," is taught by African-American Studies Professor Daphne "D.A." Brooks and explores Beyoncé's aesthetic practices and socio-historical complexity. While some praise the course for its interdisciplinary approach, others, like black pastor and political activist Terris Todd, criticize it for focusing too much on an entertainer rather than a comprehensive view of black history. Todd suggests alternative materials for a more well-rounded study of black history.
