RESEARCH

This report explains the findings of a 2010-2011 national online census of Hip-Hop Education courses and programs as they relate to the current developmental state of the Hip-Hop Education field. The census was designed to increase the understanding of the courses and programs that exist to support the professional and economic development of the field of Hip-Hop Education.

PROGRAMMING

The “My Philosophy: The Rise of Hip Hop Studies in the Academy” Symposium is co-presented between Virginia Union University (VUU) and Virginia State University(VSU) in collaboration with the Hip-Hop Education Center to interrogate, critique, and explore the development of Hip Hop Studies through the intersectionality of the academy, sports, entertainment industry, social justice, and entrepreneurship. The inaugural Hip Hop Studies Symposium will also serve as a launch for their respective Hip Hop Studies initiatives.
