The Cypher: Resistance and Liberation in Pedagogical Praxis

Fri, April 22, 4:15 to 5:45pm PDT (4:15 to 5:45pm PDT), SIG Virtual Rooms, SIG-Hip Hop Theories, Praxis & Pedagogies Virtual Paper Session Room

Session Type: Paper Session

Abstract

Hip-hop culture is anchored by a set of modalities that challenge young people to enact their visual, sonic, embodied, and poetic aesthetics for the purpose of producing new knowledge. In schools, this knowledge is often contested, signaling to some students that their ways of being are unwelcome within the context of school. The purpose of this symposium is to explore how youth take up learning in and out of school contexts in rich and vibrant ways that aren’t always understood or valued in schools.
