  • INFLO-Mation: a Model for Exploring Information Behavior Through Hip Hop
    The Journal of Research on Libraries and Young Adults Volume 9 No.1: July 2018 www.yalsa.ala.org/jrlya INFLO-mation: A Model for Exploring Information Behavior through Hip Hop Kafi D. Kumasi, PhD, Wayne State University Abstract This paper explores the insights that hip hop might afford young adult library researchers who study information behavior, particularly in online environments. A Critical Race Theory (CRT) approach was used to explain how existing information behavior models describe youth experiences in ways that mask their unique racialized experiences and culturally specific information-creating behaviors. Using CRT’s counter-storytelling method, a new model called INFLO-mation is introduced, featuring a continuum of information behaviors captured within three descriptive categories of creativity: Rhythm, Rhyme, and Remix (R3). Findings include a discussion the INFLO model, its classification scheme, and illustrative examples from contemporary teens’ digital media practices rooted in hip hop culture. Introduction “Okay, Ladies, now let’s get in formation.” —Beyoncé, “Formation,” Lemonade (2016) In this paper, I introduce a model for exploring information behavior (IB) called INFLO-mation (INFLO). This model also serves as a call to action for library and information science (LIS) professionals to “Get INFLO-mation,” or to leverage hip hop culture as a way to expand how they view, study, and support the everyday IB of teens. This call to action is reminiscent of a popular song by singer Beyoncé, who commands listeners to “get in formation,” or to get in one accord with a radical aura of Black positivity. JRLYA: Volume 9 No.1: July 2018 1 This INFLO model is grounded in over fifteen years of my thinking and writing about the intersections of adolescent literacy, school librarianship, and issues of equity in education.i It also reflects my lived experiences as a Black female scholar who came of age in the 1990s during the golden era of hip hop, which was the proverbial soundtrack of my youth.

  • The Arrow- November
    THE ARROW November 2017 Issue Inside This Issue THANKSGIVING- A FADING TRADITION SPORTS- THE SIZZLN' CELTICS H-PREP SPOTLIGHT- DANIELLE AMPOFO'S JOURNEY Athlete of the Season Kyle ran, shifted, cut, broke tackles, and ran some more. He was an elusive player on the field, putting fear in the eyes of the opposing team before he even set foot on the field. King KP Kyle would explode in the open field, uncatchable by any defender. Not only was he a stud running back but he also By Shawn Soucie made many key stops of defense, and some big important returns on special teams. As the snow started to fall and the falling of leaves came to an end, so did fall sports. Multiple players led the boys sports teams to successful seasons. Captains Danny Griffiths, Joey Harris, Sergy Choz, and David Herbst led the soccer team to the second round of districts for the first time in years. Captain Connor Friend helped bring the cross country team to a successful season. Captains Billy Roberts, Kyle Padeni, Michael Mercier, and AJ Brown led the football team to the Central Mass Championship game for the first time in years. There were outstanding performances by all of the boys teams this fall. One athlete this fall rose to the challenge. Despite starting the season off with an injury he followed to excel on his return scoring the only touchdown in his first game back, leading the team to victory. Saying Kyle Padeni excelled this season is an understatement. Kyle finished the year with 95 carries (Lowest in the top 15) and 1121 yards, averaging 11.8 yards per carry and 20 touchdowns (4th in Central Mass.) in only nine games.Kyle won the Central Mass Division MVP.

  • The Effects of Hip-Hop and Rap on Young Women in Academia
    The Effects of Hip-Hop and Rap on Young Women in Academia by Sandra C Zichermann A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education Sociology in Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Sandra C Zichermann 2013 The Effects of Hip-Hop and Rap on Young Women in Academia Sandra C Zichermann Doctor of Education Sociology in Education University of Toronto 2013 Abstract This thesis investigates the rise of the cultures and music of hip-hop and rap in the West and its effects on its female listeners and fans, especially those in academia. The thesis consists of two parts. First I conducted a content analysis of 95 lyrics from the book, Hip-Hop & Rap: Complete Lyrics for 175 Songs (Spence, 2003). The songs I analyzed were performed by male artists whose lyrics repeated misogynist and sexist messages. Second, I conducted a focus group with young female university students who self-identify as fans of hip-hop and/or rap music. In consultation with my former thesis supervisor, I selected women enrolled in interdisciplinary programmes focused on gender and race because they are equipped with an academic understanding of the potential damage or negative effects of anti-female or negative political messaging in popular music. My study suggests that the impact of hip-hop and rap music on young women is both positive and negative, creating an overarching feeling of complexity for some young female listeners who enjoy music that is infused with some lyrical messages they revile.
