Hip Hop, Identity, and Black Educational Futures

Wed, April 8, 9:45 to 11:15am PDT (9:45 to 11:15am PDT), JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A. LIVE, Floor: 2nd Floor, Platinum B

Session Type: Paper Session

Abstract

This session explores Hip Hop as a pedagogical and cultural practice that both liberates and challenges educational spaces. The presenters examine how Hip Hop fosters belonging, agency, and creative self-definition among Black youth while also interrogating how race and power shape who gets to teach Hip Hop and how it is understood in schools. From justice-impacted young men envisioning agentic futures to white educators grappling with appropriation and authenticity, these papers collectively illuminate Hip Hop’s potential to disrupt colonial logics, reimagine teaching, and design liberatory educational futures.
