HALL-DISSERTATION-2021.Pdf (1.725Mb) Copyright by Delandrea Serita Hall 2021 The Dissertation Committee for Delandrea Serita Hall Certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Straight from the Underground: Teachers of Color, Hip Hop, and the Remixing of Social Studies Committee: Cinthia S. Salinas, Supervisor Anthony L. Brown Joshua Childs Kristen E. Duncan Katherina Payne Amanda E. Vickery Straight from the Underground: Teachers of Color, Hip Hop, and the Remixing of Social Studies by Delandrea Serita Hall Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin May 2021 Dedication I dedicate this dissertation to all my present and former students, and teachers both formal and informal. Each lesson I have learned from all of you has brought me to this point. Acknowledgements My dissertation is like the grand finale, the final bow, of my graduate career, and because I like to do things in unconventional ways, I’m going take a different approach to my acknowledgements. I stand on the shoulders of so many people who have gotten me to this place. So, like every great artist/musician/rapper, I’m going step to the mic and shoutout all the people who have supported me on this journey. Additionally, because my dissertation explores Hip Hop, I’m going to compare everyone (mostly everyone) to people who are a part of the culture. Undoubtedly, I will unintentionally leave someone off my list – as all artist accepting awards do; lay any error to my head and not my heart, I promise I will make it up to you when I see you. Now, waving at my supporters as I walk up to the mic, I tap it, “I can’t believe I made it.” Then I begin! First and foremost, I would like to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Stepping out my make-believe acceptance speech for a second, in all seriousness, sometimes I do not think I would have made it through this process without my faith. In fact, I know would not have finished. This rollercoaster is a rough ride and there were many times I wanted off, but then I would hear a gospel song or a sermon with just the right message or someone would tell me they were praying for me, and it was just what I needed to cheer up, refocus, and charge ahead. Returning to my acceptance speech. Second, I would like to thank my participants. You all are the various artists to my DJ Khaled. I may have provided the structure or the beat, but the song at the end of the day reflects all your voices, stories, and knowledge. I learned so much from each conversation or “choppin it up” session, lesson observation, email, and text message. This work is intimately yours as much as mine, and I would not have been able to complete v this project, during a pandemic no less, without you all. You all amaze me and it was an honor to work with you! Third, I would like to send a special shout to my social studies office buddies and colleagues at UT – Heath, Michael Joseph, Melissa, Joanna, and Daniel. When we were on campus, you all allowed me to barge in your offices, even when you were busy, to bounce ideas off and listen to me rant about things that annoyed me. When we were forced off campus, you all checked in because you knew I was stressed, volunteered to teach my classes, and took over much of the workload. Quirky, talented, fresh, and unique we are a Tanks and The Bangas sort of crew. On an individual note, Daniel thanks for the laughs and walks outside, stay open and true to who you are. Joanna, you may have been one of the last ones in (for me), but you came in with a confidence I wish I had, and you are always so kind. You know yourself and what is important to you and the work you want to do. I admire that so much and I am excited to see what you put out! Melissa, my CUFA roommate and friend, you are always so thoughtful and have the biggest heart. It is a heart that texted me at random moments to let me know I could make it and do anything, and you remind me that it is important to remain human in this process. Thank you for everything and for being open and a wonderful person. Michael Joseph, who would have thought I would become so close with the guy I thought looked like a wet noodle and Luigi? I know I roast you all the time, but the truth is this last semester, last year, would not have been the same without you. You are funny, laid-back, and hard-working, and you care deeply about people. I am so fortunate to call you friend, and even though you do not think so, I know you will do many great things. Finally, Heath, you are one of the sweetest and considerate people I know. You also are the best listener anyone could ask for. I can talk to you for a long time about anything, including the Cowboys which is hard in this bunch. Having you as an officemate and vi colleague was always so assuring because I knew I never had to worry about being myself. You have a big heart and work so hard, I just hope you start being more kind to yourself, as kind as you are to other people. I know what you can do, and I am excited for your big year in 2022. Next, I would like to thank my former UT, now outside of UT, crew! Because there are many of you and you all have rooted me, I would say you all are like The Roots to my Questlove. However, that is not quite right so I’m going to rename us Burnt Roots (get it … burnt orange like UT, and you all root me; it’s not great but go with it) and go in individually adding my own members. Let me start with MJ, one of the coolest people I know much like Pharrell Williams. I remember when I met you when I came to visit and see if I really wanted to return to UT. You told me then I could call anytime, and when I did finally return you offered advice, reminded me to be myself, and never allow the institution to get to me. During the job search process, you also were an ear to talk things through and think about how to approach interviews. Thank you for always reminding me what matters most – being myself and having fun. Neil, you are the other producer in the crew, Timbaland (to my Missy) to be exact. I never would have guessed when I arrived at UT that I would meet someone who way is more into teaching economics than me, but I did and you have taught me so much. You are also one of the kindest and most generous and warmest people I know and my academic partner in crime. I feel so fortunate to work I get to work with you. Thank you for being an awesome human being and bringing me along with you in the writing world; and for allowing me to poke fun and give you a hard time (you are getting good at the comebacks and poking back though), I don’t know what I would do without you! Now for my girls! The ladies of my rag-tag UT crew – Anna, Esther, and Noreen, like if TLC joined the crew. I would have never made it through any of this without you vii all to laugh with and eat with and talk about TV and pop culture. You all inspire and push me in ways I cannot fully articulate. Each of you has played such an important role in who I am in this world, and I know that I am better because of you. Anna, the Southern girl who I felt I’d known forever the first time I met you. You are the Chilli of the group (curly hair and all), which I realize may sound weird, but hang on I’ll explain. I will never forget the first time I came to your house to babysit Lillian and Atticus and I you opened the door and I met Austin and your house felt so warm and welcoming. Talking to you then, it was like I had known you for a long time before I met you. Not only were you this brilliant person I looked up to in class, but you were also open and kind. So, to me you are like my family away from home, my cool Southern white girl sister who knows all the things both academic and silly/fun. Esther, you are every good thing in the world. You are like a north star that guides and takes care of everyone (as evidenced by your cooking) – in other words, you are our T-Boz. Thank you for always being there for me (for everyone) – to give me advice, to laugh about silly things, to commiserate about work I had to do, to talk about my research and writing, to eat dinner with, and so on. I don’t think I’ll ever meet a better person, and I know I couldn’t have completed this program without you.

This we consider self-evident. Yet in discussing art of subjugated cultures, specifically African American music, these two spheres are often wrongly separated. This has cultivated a divide in which personal exploration through music has been decoupled from the artist’s greater comments on their cultural struggle. These works are necessarily grounded in the context to which they speak, however this greater context must acknowledge the experience of the individual. This essay aims to pursue a methodology centred on the relationship between the personal and the cultural, with a case study of Kendrick Lamar’s 2015 album To Pimp a Butterfly.2 Lamar straddles this divide. His personal difficulty with removal from the Compton community is inextricably linked with the struggle of African Americans in the wake of the Ferguson unrest. Lamar is in the optimal position to comment on this cultural struggle, however his fame and celebrity has partially removed him from the issues he attempts to articulate. As Lamar examines the relationship between himself and his community and context throughout To Pimp a Butterfly, he gives authenticity to his voice despite its fallibility.

  • Special Victims Unit
    Audrey Lang Whalen Symposium 2017 The Women of Law and Order: Special Victims Unit “Role models really matter. It’s hard to imagine yourself as something you don’t see.” Chelsea Clinton said that, and repeating those words shouldn’t be a divisive political statement. It’s true that girls need role models in real life, and it is true as well that the depiction of strong female characters in the media is another way that girls can “see themselves.” Some of the major women on Law and Order: Special Victims Unit have demonstrated this phenomenon: Lieutenant Olivia Benson, Detectives Amanda Rollins and Dani Beck, Assistant District Attorneys Alexandra Cabot and Casey Novak, Judge Elizabeth Donnelly, Medical Examiner Melinda Warner, and Kathy Stabler. Law and Order: SVU is a television series broadcast on NBC that first aired in 1999 and now is in its eighteenth season and is the longest currently-running scripted non-animated primetime television series on a major broadcast network in the United States, since the original show from which it stemmed, Law and Order, was cancelled in 2010. The show was created when Law and Order creator and executive producer Dick Wolf wrote an episode for the original franchise based upon the rape/murder case of Jennifer Levin, and it continued to haunt him. Law and Order: SVU depicts fictional characters within the actual sex crimes unit of the New York Police Department, the Special Victims Unit. Much of the series follows Olivia Benson, a character who has been on the show for all eighteen seasons, as she rises from detective to sergeant to lieutenant and as she experiences changes in her personal life.

  • Rape in Law and Order: Special Victims Unit
    Can television promote a more progressive definition of rape and help delegitimize it?: Rape in Law and Order: Special Victims Unit Author: Isabel Ramos Hernández Persistent link: http://hdl.handle.net/2345/bc-ir:106783 This work is posted on eScholarship@BC, Boston College University Libraries. Boston College Electronic Thesis or Dissertation, 2016 Copyright is held by the author, with all rights reserved, unless otherwise noted. Can television promote a more progressive definition of rape and help delegitimize it?: Rape in Law and Order: Special Victims Unit Isabel Ramos Hernández Senior Honors Thesis Sociology Department, Boston College Advised by Lynda Lytle Holmstrom May 15th 2016 ABSTRACT Rape is a socially constructed behavior used in patriarchal societies to devalue women and ensure male supremacy. Being socially constructed means that the definition of rape can change. This thesis addresses the question of whether an established institution—television—can promote a more progressive definition of rape and help delegitimize it. It uses a feminist content analysis to examine the main themes on 14 episodes of Law and Order: Special Victims Unit (SVU) aired from 2012-2015. It is qualitative and inductive in nature, approached from a grounded theory perspective. The data demonstrate that SVU does, to some extent, present a more progressive view of rape instead of perpetuating the common stereotypes of rape. Essentially, SVU represents a new variety of definitions of rape that are reflective of white, privileged, heterosexual and young women's experiences in the United States. Race, class, sexual orientation and identity are barely taken into account even though many social inequalities based on them characterize American life.
