They'll also be the ones at the front of the classroom teaching Ocean-centric lessons to students come fall 2018. They told the magazine that the course will cover everything from gender politics to the artist's musical influences, and will do so through the lens of Ocean's discography.
Gill tweeted the news on June 15th alongside a promotional course poster featuring an illustration of Ocean's latest album Blonde. The course title, "Brain Like Berkeley," comes from the lyrics to the artist's 2011 track "Novacane."
