HC SSCI CD

2 credits
Few artists have impacted the world of music and pop culture like Prince. A Baby Boomer who became the voice of Gen X, Prince’s musical social commentary included Cold War tensions (“1999”), AIDS (“Sign o’ The Times”), and the Black Lives Matter movement (“Baltimore”). In this class, utilizing music, visual media, and readings, we will consider Prince’s impact and what His Royal Badness continues to teach us in this unprecedented moment in higher education, the nation, and our world.
