Session Type: Paper Session

Abstract

This isn’t your average symposium. We grow roses in concrete. We build across generations and continents. We make something out of nothing. We dream (a)loud. We stand on the shoulders of giants. We believe in education for liberation. Among the seven of us are researchers, MCs, DJs, writers, activists, teachers, leaders, archivists, entrepreneurs, professors, sisters, brothers, mothers, aunties, uncles, fathers, theorists, producers, and global citizens. We are Hip-Hop. Weaving performances, panel discussion, and audience participation, Hip-Hop practitioners, educators, and pioneers--a Grammy® and BET Award nominated Hip-Hop and soul artist/scholar/youth advocate and a Hip-Hop archivist/filmmaker/social entrepreneur--join to build with AERA participants to move toward generating a working Hip-Hop framework for educational research, practice, and assessment.
