  • Beyoncé, the African Diaspora, and the Baptism of 'Black Is King'
    NBA PLAYOFF ODDS NFL MLB FANTASY MORE MOVIES MUSIC POP CULTURE Glory B: Beyoncé, the African Diaspora, and the Baptism of ‘Black Is King’ On her new Disney+ visual album, Beyoncé reinforces the ancestral lineage of Black people as divine beings, connecting the experience of a Black woman from the South to shores of Africa By Taylor Crumpton Aug 4, 2020, 6:30am EDT SHARE Parkwood Entertainment/Ringer illustration On July 31 at midnight, time stood still. Only Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter’s creation of a Black planet could make the world forget about a global pandemic. For a moment, she lifted the veil of white supremacist thought that has dehumanized the African Diaspora. Black Is King, her new visual album released on Disney+ on Friday, reinforces the ancestral lineage of Black people as divine beings, born from the natural and spiritual forces of the universe. In the film, Beyoncé plays an omnipresent spirit who prepares the Black body to be born anew through the beliefs and practices of our ancestors who knew that to be Black was to be holy. “Let Black be synonymous with glory,” she says in a voiceover early in the film. Efi Chalikopoulou The Top 100 Beyoncé Songs, Ranked Beyoncé’s evolution from entertainer to pop icon truly began with her 2013 visual album Beyoncé, a public baptism into heritage and identity that humanized the most powerful woman in the music industry and documented her reclamation of a feminist personality. Her ideological foundation was further developed by womanist philosophies about lineage and reconciliation with her ancestors in Lemonade, her 2016 album that explored marital fidelity and forgiveness in the Black South, the birthplace of Black America.

  • Department/Program Curriculum
    TUTORIAL PROGRAM The Tutorial Program offers students a distinctive opportunity to take a heightened form of responsibility for their own intellectual development. No student is required to take a tutorial course, but any student with the appropriate qualifications and interests is invited to do so. Tutorials place much greater weight than regular courses—or even small seminars—on student participation. They aim to teach students how to develop and present arguments; listen carefully, and then refine their positions in the context of a challenging discussion; and respond quickly and cogently to critiques of their work. Tutorials place particular emphasis on developing analytical skills, writing abilities, and the talents of engaging in rigorous conversation and oral debate. Since the program’s inception in 1988, students have ranked tutorials among the most demanding—and rewarding—courses they have taken at Williams. While not designed to be more difficult than other courses, tutorials are nonetheless challenging, with frequent writing assignments and the expectation that students will be well prepared to participate actively and effectively in weekly discussions. At the same time, students have consistently placed tutorials among the most enriching and consequential courses they have taken. They have appreciated the close attention to their writing and argumentation skills; the opportunity to be held accountable, in a detailed way, for the extended implications of their ideas; the chance to develop their oral abilities as they engage in debate; and the close intellectual bonds tutorials build between teachers and students, and students with each other. Many students have formed important advising and mentoring relationships with their tutorial teachers.
