IRIZARRY Approved as to style and content by: DEDICATION This dissertation is dedicated to: Lydia Rivera, my grandmother y mama de crianza, for teaching me how to dream Roslyn Rivera, my mother, for instilling in me the confidence to pursue my dreams Katie Irizarry, my wife and life partner, for limitless love and support Javier Jay and Alex Emilio Irizarry, my sons—May all of your dreams come true! ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am profoundly grateful to many individuals for their support during the dissertation process. First and foremost, I have to thank to the 10 “exceptional teachers of Latino students” who generously gave of themselves and participated in this research. They shared narratives detailing aspects of their personal lives and work as teachers in the hope that this research project will lead to improvements in teacher preparation and, consequently, urban education. Their dedication to their students and to their own personal and professional development as teachers is inspiring. I must also acknowledge my friends, colleagues, and writing group partners, Patty Bode and John Raible. For their thorough reviews of my work at various stages of development, the insights they shared during “brainstorming” sessions, and overall support and encouragement, I am extremely appreciative. Although our career paths may lead us in different directions, we will always be connected. I am also indebted to the members of my dissertation committee, M. Idalf Torres and Linda Marchesani, for their valuable suggestions and thought-provoking comments. Most notably, I would like to thank Sonia Nieto, my academic advisor and Chair of my committee. The richness of her scholarship, support for her students, and dedication to her family will continue to serve as a guidepost for my development as a scholar in the academy. Finally, but most significant, I must acknowledge my family- too many to name here- for the sacrifices they have made and the support that they have provided to help me achieve my personal and professional goals. v ABSTRACT REPRESENTIN’ FOR LATINO STUDENTS: CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE PEDAGOGIES, TEACHER IDENTITIES, AND THE PREPARATION OF TEACHERS FOR URBAN SCHOOLS SEPTEMBER 2005 JASON G. IRIZARRY, B.A., SIENA COLLEGE M.A., STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK AT ALBANY Ed.D., UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS AMHERST Directed by Professor Sonia Nieto This dissertation critically examines the autobiographies of ten teachers identified using the community nomination method (Foster, 1991) as exemplary teachers of Latino students to make recommendations for teacher preparation programs preparing educators to work in urban schools. The study is informed by postmodern understandings of culture and identity and draws heavily from Hip-Hop/Urban culture—a site from which, I argue, many urban students draw to create their identities. A review of the literature regarding culturally responsive pedagogies demonstrates the need for teachers to affirm students’ cultural identities but also highlights the focus much of the research in this area places on race, thus, possibly contributing to a reification of singular aspects of students’ identities. This study seeks to expand the discourse by forwarding cultural connectedness as a framework for practicing culturally responsive pedagogies in ways that do not essentialize culture and are informed by the multiple sites from which students draw to create hybrid cultural identities. It also stresses the potential for teachers who are not members of the same racial or ethnic group as their students to become “culturally connected” and improve their practice. Postmodernism and Hip/Hop-Urban culture vi informed the creation of Represent(ations), a hybrid methodology I created to employ in this dissertation. The findings suggest that teacher preparation programs need to be reconceptualized to include, in addition to content knowledge, a specific focus on teacher identity development and restructured by making changes to the curriculum, recruiting and retaining more pre-service candidates of color, and diversifying teacher preparation faculty to include teacher educators of color and those with teaching experiences in urban settings. Transforming urban teacher preparation based on this research has the potential to cultivate more teachers who “represent” for Latino students.

  • The Life & Rhymes of Jay-Z, an Historical Biography
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: THE LIFE & RHYMES OF JAY-Z, AN HISTORICAL BIOGRAPHY: 1969-2004 Omékongo Dibinga, Doctor of Philosophy, 2015 Dissertation directed by: Dr. Barbara Finkelstein, Professor Emerita, University of Maryland College of Education. Department of Teaching and Learning, Policy and Leadership. The purpose of this dissertation is to explore the life and ideas of Jay-Z. It is an effort to illuminate the ways in which he managed the vicissitudes of life as they were inscribed in the political, economic cultural, social contexts and message systems of the worlds which he inhabited: the social ideas of class struggle, the fact of black youth disempowerment, educational disenfranchisement, entrepreneurial possibility, and the struggle of families to buffer their children from the horrors of life on the streets. Jay-Z was born into a society in flux in 1969. By the time Jay-Z reached his 20s, he saw the art form he came to love at the age of 9—hip hop— become a vehicle for upward mobility and the acquisition of great wealth through the sale of multiplatinum albums, massive record deal signings, and the omnipresence of hip-hop culture on radio and television. In short, Jay-Z lived at a time where, if he could survive his turbulent environment, he could take advantage of new terrains of possibility. This dissertation seeks to shed light on the life and development of Jay-Z during a time of great challenge and change in America and beyond. THE LIFE & RHYMES OF JAY-Z, AN HISTORICAL BIOGRAPHY: 1969-2004 An historical biography: 1969-2004 by Omékongo Dibinga Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Maryland, College Park, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2015 Advisory Committee: Professor Barbara Finkelstein, Chair Professor Steve Klees Professor Robert Croninger Professor Derrick Alridge Professor Hoda Mahmoudi © Copyright by Omékongo Dibinga 2015 Acknowledgments I would first like to thank God for making life possible and bringing me to this point in my life.

  • Represent, Representin', Representation: the Efficacy
    Represent, Representin’, Representation: The Efficacy of Hybrid Texts in the Writing Classroom Donald McCrary ABSTRACT: The article explores the use of hybrid linguistic texts in the writing classroom, both as articles of study and possible models of composition. Standard English linguistic supremacy prevents many students from using their full range of linguistic knowledge. The inclusion of hybrid texts in the writing classroom might help students, in particular working class and non-white students, to establish a linguistic and cultural connection between the beliefs and practices of the academy and those of their home communities. In addition to analyzing hybrid discourse from a popular urban magazine, a newspaper article, a scholarly article, and literary non-fiction, the article analyzes several student responses to hybrid literacy narratives and several student literacy autobiographies that use hybrid discourse. The article argues that students’ reading and writing of hybrid texts might increase their awareness of language and eradicate the negative consequences of standard English supremacy. Among many of the hip hop generation there is a mandate to “rep- resent,” which means to display one’s skill and knowledge or express one’s home identity in any given social situation. Some of my students “represent” in my writing classroom through dress—oversized clothing, baseball caps, doo rags, and bling—and attitude—laid back, non-committal, and unim- pressed. When my students “represent,” they see themselves as embracing their identities and cultures in the midst of academia, as playas in the college game rather than the game of college playin’ them. While the academy permits my students to “represent” in dress and attitude, it does not extend this courtesy to student language.

  • Abstract One Love: Collective Consciousness in Rap and Poetry
    Abstract One Love: Collective Consciousness in Rap and Poetry of the Hip-Hop Generation by Austin Harold Hart April, 2012 Thesis Director: John Hoppenthaler Major Department: English (Literature and Poetry) This study aims to offer an understanding of hip-hop culture through which three concepts are elucidated: (1) the existence and dimensions of a collective consciousness within rap and poetry of the hip-hop generation (Allison Joseph, A. Van Jordan, Terrance Hayes, Major Jackson, Taylor Mali, and Kevin Coval); (2) a poetics of rap—to parallel the influence seen/suggested among the selected poets; and (3) an analysis of the manner(s) in which the poetry of these more serious, academic artists reflects an influence of hip-hop culture. My thesis suggests that these poets are indeed influenced by the culture in which they grew up, and in their verse, this influence can be seen through linguistic playfulness, sonic density, layered meaning and usage through form and content, and the connection to a larger cultural, collective consciousness fed by specific social bodies. Poetic analysis, as well as studies of vernacular and oral traditions, has allowed me to explore these concepts and theories from a wider spectrum, and with regard to the work of the poets, an original perspective. Providing a deeper understanding of artists, their identities, places, and dreams within their work, this study begins to offer some insight into notions of the ways in which individuals might participate in cultural conservation.
