18.044 - A #HipHopEd Compilation: Hip-Hop as Education and Knowledge of Self
Fri, April 5, 2:25 to 3:55pm, Metro Toronto Convention Centre, Floor: 200 Level, Room 203BSession Type: Symposium
Abstract
Knowledge of self is commonly acknowledged as the fifth element of hip hop, a constant force at play when participating and engaging in hip-hop culture. Gosa (2014) clarifies knowledge of self as the manifestation of a “coherent ideological movement of beats, rhymes, dance, art, and politics [which] could empower oppressed people around the world” (Gosa, p. 57). This symposium will discuss how hip hop pedagogies can be used to challenge problematic school structures that strip youth of the hip hop generation of opportunities to engage with hip hop, and subsequently cultivate knowledge of self.
