About this course

This course explores women in music from Vaudeville blues of the late 1800's, blues queens of the 1920's through contemporary blues artists such as Shamekia Copeland, Adele, Beyonce and Nicki Minaj. We will have mindful and empathetic conversations based on culture, race and perspective. The outcome of this class is that students have a thorough understanding of the legacy of blues music, the women who were at the forefront of the genre and the impact of blues on a worldwide audience.
