SST 195-01 - Introductory Special Topic: The Cypher Paradigm: Hip Hop, Education, Praxis & Action

1 credits (Spring)
Cross-listed as: HUM 195-02  and MUS 195-01 . This course examines the power of the Hip Hop Elements (MCing, DJing, graffiti, breakdancing, beatboxing, beatmaking, archiving) as a framework for teaching, learning and activism agency.  Grounded in inquiry, students will develop an analytic lens used to “close read” the world and respond to social justice issues on artistic and educational platforms. We will merge an exploration of the cultural, social, political histories of Hip Hop with liberatory pedagogical practices. Includes art creation and performance. This course is sponsored by the Wilson Center for Innovation and Leadership.

Prerequisite: None.
Note: Dates: April 2 to April 30. Short course deadlines apply.
Instructor: Sellers
