MUS 24.01 Black Sound Studies

This upper-level reading and writing intensive seminar explores the field of Black sound studies. We will explore Black music, sound technologies, performance styles, aesthetics, and sonic epistemologies, all the while asking what might Black sound studies be and why. Each week, we will engage a text and an album together, moving through the sound sources of both pieces to generate moments of connection and silence between the two.

This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
