  3.00 Credits

  This course will investigate the connections between Hip-Hop culture, approaches to educating traditionally marginalized youth, and the way in which schooling can be constructed and disseminated in Hip-Hop. We will analyze the culture of Hip-Hop in an educational context and consider why rappers and effective teachers, how Hip-Hop is structured in ways that support argumentation and communication, and the ways in which traditional content courses can be taught using components of Hip-Hop culture. Once an understanding of Hip-Hop culture has been established, the term 'multicultural education' will be interrogated and lead students to question whether or not multicultural education has true meaning in current research and practice in education. This course will combine scholarship and theory with considerable exposure to various Hip-Hop songs and artists.
