| This course is transformative –– it will connect you to peers equally passionate about the field of black innovation in music technology, you will learn directly from practitioners and historians of black underground culture who are actively forming culture, and you will be empowered to participate in your own form of knowledge creation through writing and research. |
| Take this course if you want to get a great overview of a Black history of EDM. Hopefully it has fewer difficult assignments in future iterations but even if not, if you're wiling to put in some extra work (make sure you really understand what the syllabus entails!) then it pays off. |
| On top of its rich and engaging content focus, this course has an invigorating pedagogical approach that centers the voices of those in underground spaces who create electronic dance music and its surrounding culture. The readings inform and invite great class discussions! |
| An essential course at Harvard. Take this class and embrace the experience. Fosters a true class community as well. |
