The University of Massachusetts Amherst is offering a Beyoncé course in fall called “Beyoncé: the Myth, the Music, and the Money (FYS 191HFA25)” “This course is centered around the art and life of Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, the Houston-born musical and cultural monolith. Using her illustrative career as a lens, this course explores topics such as gender, race, class, and identity to examine larger questions about popular culture, art, and the world around us. Particular emphasis will be placed on Beyoncé’s visual works, including her distinctive visual albums Lemonade (2016) and Black is King (2019). Supplemented by interdisciplinary scholarship, this course also serves as an introduction to various academic disciplines such as musicology, entertainment and media studies, and critical feminist and race studies.”

NOTHING ELSE BUT MIRACLES arrives 9/5! I’d love to share some real-life sites from the story. First up, the Statue of Liberty! ‘Libby’ is a sort of confidante for our protagonist, Dory. I visited her myself recently… first time since elementary school! curiousiguana.com/product/no…
