designed for non-music and music majors, and there is no requirement to have prior experience playing music. Explore the role cultural and historical forces, racism and capitalism that have played a part in American popular music. The social conditions of the performers illustrate multiple systems of discrimination on the basis of race, ethnicity, gender, sex, sexual orientation, social class and more. We interrogate intersections of identities and discriminatory social structures. As consumers of music, we can play a role in lessening oppression through the support of music and musicians created by marginalized groups. Music is all around us \u2013 we may hear it at home, while in a car, at the grocery store, at the dentist\u2019s office, live in concerts, in tv and movie soundtracks and so many other places. But too often, what we don\u2019t do is talk about the startling inequities experienced by Black, Indigenous and\/or People of Color working in the popular music industry.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='avia-button-wrap av-masnehbv-e5f440cfa9c91d96c01c50e30cb8d6ce-wrap avia-button-left  avia-builder-el-13  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_heading '><a href="https:\/\/catalog.sou.edu\/preview_program.php?catoid=17&amp;poid=5289"  class='avia-button av-masnehbv-e5f440cfa9c91d96c01c50e30cb8d6ce av-link-btn avia-icon_select-no avia-size-large avia-position-left avia-color-dark'  target=\"_blank\"  rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"  aria-label=\"SEE COURSE REQUIREMENTS\"><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >SEE COURSE REQUIREMENTS<\/span><\/a><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-1d7rk6r-f1a3b070d22674320fad08f9a782a15c\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-1d7rk6r-f1a3b070d22674320fad08f9a782a15c{\npadding-bottom:20px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-1d7rk6r-f1a3b070d22674320fad08f9a782a15c .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n#top #wrap_all .av-special-heading.av-1d7rk6r-f1a3b070d22674320fad08f9a782a15c .av-special-heading-tag{\nfont-size:26px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-1d7rk6r-f1a3b070d22674320fad08f9a782a15c .av-subheading{\nfont-size:20px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-1d7rk6r-f1a3b070d22674320fad08f9a782a15c av-special-heading-h3  avia-builder-el-14  el_after_av_button  el_before_av_textblock '><h3 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >Degree Fit<\/h3><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-cxcbz03-2f09c5e407f05f95cc41c008ea61cc40 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock av_inherit_color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h4>Program Preparation<\/h4>\n<p>This program is designed for non-music and music majors, and there is no requirement to have prior experience playing music.

Topics will include the blues, glam, metal, country, punk, progressive, indie, and alternative styles, the sound of Philadelphia, disco, reggae, ska, new wave, music video, hip hop, rap, grunge, country music, jazz, world music, the pressures of stardom and music piracy.
