Two ladies from Greenpoint, Brooklyn have taken it upon themselves to start a workshop about the life and legacy of pop superstar Britney Spears. The class which involves a multimedia presentation dissects Spears' career trajectory, rise, fall, comeback and continued influence in "pop culture and feminism."
The class often sells out and according to Rachel Goldberg and Suri Ratnatunga who run the course they think it appeals to even non fans. Goldberg declares "A lot of people have that base understanding of 'sexualized pop star,' but what else is there?" she continues "Even if you don't care about her, you have an opinion on her, and you know something about her. It's a discussion about something that's universal in American society." Goldberg goes on to add "We look at things and feminism and gender studies and how those things relate to Britney."
