In this colloquium, we’ll examine the intersections of identities and cultures through American rap music and contemporary American opera. Through shared listening, analysis and discusssion, students will work toward the goal of uncovering how and under what circumstances identities are constructed, reified, transgressed, and sublimated through the art of music. 
 

This class will fulfill an Arts and Letters Colloquium and the HC 444H: US: Difference, Inequality, and Agency (US) cultural literacy requirement.  If a student already has completed an Arts and Letters Colloquium, this course will fulfill both of the following requirements: an Elective Colloquium and the US: Difference, Inequality, and Agency (US) cultural literacy requirement.
