Day two embodies the communal and collaborative spirit of what it means to build. As a gathering of scholars, students and artists we envision and invoke the kind of hip hop community and culture that interrogates pedagogy, education, global relations and builds sustainable communities.

This session will discuss emerging hip hop research inside and outside the academy, and the accompanying ethical, political and social implications. What does hip hop look like in an institution? What are our teaching goals, and how does hip hop inform our pedagogical approaches? How might teaching hip hop in the community influence the inner workings of the University system
