  • Hip Hop Activism in Education: the Historical Efforts of Hip Hop Congress to Advance Critical Hip Hop Pedagogy Through Urban Teachers Network
    HIP HOP ACTIVISM IN EDUCATION: THE HISTORICAL EFFORTS OF HIP HOP CONGRESS TO ADVANCE CRITICAL HIP HOP PEDAGOGY THROUGH URBAN TEACHERS NETWORK by Derrick J. Jenkins B.A., University of Cincinnati, 2000 M.Ed., University of Cincinnati, 2004 A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy College of Education In the Graduate School University of Cincinnati June 2012 ABSTRACT HIP HOP ACTIVISM IN EDUCATION: THE HISTORICAL EFFORTS OF HIP HOP CONGRESS TO ADVANCE CRITICAL HIP HOP PEDAGOGY THROUGH URBAN TEACHERS NETWORK JUNE 2012 DERRICK J. JENKINS B.A., University of Cincinnati, 2000 M.Ed., University of Cincinnati, 2004 Ph.D., University of Cincinnati, 2012 Directed by: Dr. Marvin Berlowitz Hip Hop culture has been an influential force on the social fabric of the United States and abroad for nearly forty years (Rose, 1994 & 2008; Dyson, 2007; Light, 2005). Its praxis as an agent of social change has been inextricably connected to movements of empowerment for countless youth who embrace hip hop (Bynoe, 2004; Chang, 2004; Kitwana, 2002). This study explores its Afro-Diasporic, activist origins, and the origins of activist organization Hip Hop Congress, as well as the theoretical impact of hip hop culture on the identity and pedagogy of educators affiliated with the Urban Teachers Network. Currently, hip hop education is being taught in nearly every discipline and subject in the K-16 pipeline (Duncan & Morrell, 2008), with very little assessment of its effect on student performance and equally limited analysis of educator’s role of its implementation. The results of this study will acknowledge the efforts of the Urban Teachers Network to connect educators who utilize hip hop pedagogy and evaluate the effect of their efforts while chronicling the activist role of Hip Hop Congress.

  • Ozark Jubilee: the Impact of a Regional Identity at a Crossroads
    OZARK JUBILEE: THE IMPACT OF A REGIONAL IDENTITY AT A CROSSROADS Nathaniel Lucy A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC May 2014 Committee: Katherine Meizel, Advisor Megan Rancier Jeremy Wallach ii ABSTRACT Katherine Meizel, Advisor The objective of this study is to investigate the historical impact of the television show Ozark Jubilee on country music and the regional identity of the Ozarks. For my research, I gathered several primary documents, watched footage, listened to recordings, and interviewed a square dancer from the program. I then applied my findings to Appadurai’s theory of globalized cultural landscapes, Richard A. Peterson’s theories on country music performance, and models of cultural tourism emergence in the Ozarks. The result of the study was a textual analysis, which presents the context and analyses the impact of the country music variety show during the 1950s. I correlated the experiences of the musicians to the cultural landscapes within the Ozarks that were intrinsically tied to the landscape of the nation. I also found that the Ozark Jubilee had a strong influence on the music of the Nashville Sound Era of country music of the late 1950s and 1960s. The program also played a role in the development of cultural tourism in the Ozarks; many of the first Branson, Missouri musical theaters had strong connections with Ozark Jubilee. From my study, I conclude that Ozark Jubilee demonstrates that the show and the region were not isolated from the rest of the country music industry and had a great historical impact on the region and the developments of the country music genre, despite common narratives by country music historians.
