Description:
Schools, particularly universities, tend to advance and recreate Eurocentric educational models, which both exclude a large segment of the student population and fail to account for the lives of students outside the classroom. Utilizing principles of both Freire's model of liberatory education and hip-hop-based education, teachers and professors can create inclusive and engaging classrooms that orient students towards social justice, through centering students' lived experiences. Hip-hop culture is explained and situated within its history of resistance and resiliency. Key principles of hip-hop culture are identified, such as knowledge of self/culture/history, recognition of systemic injustice, and desire for social change. Tools to implement these principles in the classroom are provided, including examples of how hip-hop pedagogy can be applied to a broad range of subjects. This session should particularly benefit educators and aspiring educators wishing to create inclusive and dynamic, social justice-oriented classrooms.
