Course Description


In this course, we will embark on a critical exploration of the intersectionality between the hypersexualization of black women's bodies, the influence of hip hop and music, and the increase of harmful beauty standards. Grounded in an intersectional feminist framework, we will also delve into historical and contemporary contexts, examining the objectification of black women, the legacy of Saartjie Baartman and others, and the complex relationships between black feminism, colorism, and misogyny.
