The 5th Element: The Future and Promise of Hip Hop Pedagogy
A Global Symposium and Think Tank featuring Emile YX, Joan Morgan, H. Samy Alim, and Hip Hop educators from around the world
November 8th and 9th
Stanford University
Free Admission and Registration
Presented by the IDA Arts and Education Project
The Arts and Education Project (“AEP”) of the Institute for Diversity in the Arts at Stanford University began in 2014 for the purpose of documenting, analyzing, and disseminating best practices regarding the use of hip-hop in education. The project also focuses on the impacts and “halo” effects of these pedagogies on current and former diverse low-income high school students in the East Palo Alto community.
The 5th Element Global Symposium on Hip Hop Pedagogy is the culminating event of IDA’s Arts and Education Project. IDA’s project partners are the Mural Music and Arts Project and the East Palo Alto Academy. It has been generously funded by the Surdna Foundation.
On November 9th, participants will get the opportunity to connect and build with hip-hop educators, scholars, and community-based organizations as a part of the Hip-Hop Education Think Tank IV, “It’s Yours! Sustaining and Reimagining Our Movement.” It has been generously funded by the Surdna Foundation.
