Course Name: MUS 22131 Survey of Rock Music
Description: This 4-week study-abroad course surveys rock music history from its pre-rock roots through the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and contemporary global media culture. Students study major artists, recordings, musical styles, cultural events, and technologies that shaped rock music. Because the course is taught in Florence, students also examine how rock, pop, soul, punk, reggae, hip-hop, and contemporary media circulate outside the United States through Italian youth culture, tourism, live performance, visual culture, and digital platforms.
