Remixing Response-ability: An Interactive Session Exploring Accountability and Praxis in Hip-Hop-Based Education and Research

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

The field of Hip-Hop Based Education (HHBE) and research is positioned at the nexus of accountability and commitment. This symposium demonstrates a variety of theoretical, methodological, and collaborative approaches to analyze and demonstrate how educators and social justice advocates can use HHBE, research methods, and pedagogy to propel advancements on behalf of the community rooted outside and within the walls of academia. Through generative creative exercises, participants will engage with the approaches presented to discuss how responsibility might be enacted and fostered through HHBE and research methods to address educational inequities and hold the academy accountable to the community.
