The Intellectual Underpinnings of Beyonce’s Awesomeness w/ Kevin Allred
Laverne speaks with Kevin Allred, author, scholar, speaker, who came on the pop culture radar when he started teaching a university course on Beyonce back in 2010. It’s called Politicizing Beyonce, with a syllabus composed entirely of black feminist writers. It’s his mission to facilitate conversations that disrupt America’s racist and heterocentrist status quo by studying America through the eyes of female Black artists and intellectuals, like Beyonce. He draws connections through history and asks us to take a different perspective. His class has been adapted into a best-selling book, Ain’t I a Diva, available at The Feminist Press. // Kevin Allred’s Twitter Kevin’s Website Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
