THE STATE OF HIP HOP - Diverse Methods in Learning

The State of Hip Hop

Diverse Methods in Learning

[Call for Position Papers]

 

The “State of Hip Hop Diverse Methods in Learning” conference is comprised to discuss and raise awareness about Hip Hop Education and how it can be utilized as an alternative method of learning to shift the present paradigm in educational challenges that today’s urban youth encounter due to a suffering education system.

We encourage you to articulate your vision of Hip Hop Studies and how it can act as a progressive catalyst in shifting the negative and counter-productive paradigm of education within the urban demographic and become a reigniting factor in creating interest in both higher learning and education through the application of a Hip Hop Studies curriculum. What are the most important aspects or issues for Hip Hop Studies?  As suggested above, Hip Hop Studies is not concerned with basic or generic agent concepts or technologies, but with specific orientation towards information systems and information systems development.

 [Submission Requirements]

 

Your position paper should not exceed 2 pages. It must either:

1. What is Hip Hop Studies?
2. What is Hip Hop Scholarship?
3. What are the benefits of a Hip Hop Studies curriculum and course of study?

You must indicate under which of these three categories your position paper falls. A problem discussion must begin with a section called Problem Statement and must conclude with a section called Research Questions. An attack must first describe the position to be attacked in neutral language before it presents reasons why it should be rejected. A technology forecast should consist of one or more forecast statements with additional explanation. 

Position papers can be submitted, until 28 February for The State of Hip Hop: Diverse Methods in Learning at Essex County College by email to africanainstitute@gmail.com  in plain text.
