  • SCHOOLED: Hiphop Composition at the Predominantly White University
    Syracuse University SURFACE Dissertations - ALL SURFACE August 2017 SCHOOLED: Hiphop Composition at the Predominantly White University Tessa Rose Brown Syracuse University Follow this and additional works at: https://surface.syr.edu/etd Part of the Arts and Humanities Commons Recommended Citation Brown, Tessa Rose, "SCHOOLED: Hiphop Composition at the Predominantly White University" (2017). Dissertations - ALL. 764. https://surface.syr.edu/etd/764 This Dissertation is brought to you for free and open access by the SURFACE at SURFACE. It has been accepted for inclusion in Dissertations - ALL by an authorized administrator of SURFACE. For more information, please contact [email protected]. ABSTRACT This dissertation asks what hiphop is doing in predominantly white higher-educational contexts, specifically in composition classrooms. Using ethnographic, autoethnographic, and historical methods, it finds that hiphop’s work in composition classrooms at PWIs is contradictory. This mixed-methods investigation suggests that the contradictory relation of white fans, students, and institutions to hiphop is shaped on the one hand by white listeners’ increasing identification with the historical struggles of African Americans under capitalism, and on the other hand, by disidentification or abjectification of African Americans in an effort to “win” the zero-sum game of capitalism. This contradiction results in a paradoxical situation where white fans—and white institutions—love hiphop and yet harbor antiblack views about the Black communities and Black students who make hiphop possible. However, the findings also suggest that identifying this tension offers writing instructors an opportunity to be more explicit about working towards anti-racist goals in the hiphop composition classroom. The dissertation’s historical study, ethnographic and autoethnographic studies, and review of contemporary hiphop and composition scholarship suggest that teaching and practicing reflexivity are core solutions to the paradoxical rhetorical action of hiphop in predominantly white spaces.

  • Blacklivesmatter: Music in a Movement
    #BlackLivesMatter: Music in a Movement OVERVIEW ESSENTIAL QUESTION How have musicians responded to the Black Lives Matter movement? OVERVIEW (Note: this lesson contains some profanity. Teacher discretion advised.) Photo: Daniel Leal-Olivas On July 13, 2013, George Zimmerman was acquitted for killing Black teenager Trayvon Martin. Zimmerman, who was part of the neighborhood watch program in a Sanford, Florida community, shot Martin after a physical altercation. Martin was unarmed. When Zimmerman was found not guilty of murder, protests erupted across the country, both on foot and online. In response to the verdict, activist Alicia Garza wrote a note on Facebook affirming her love for Black people and that their lives matter. The post went viral, leading friend Patrisse Cullors to repost Garza’s statement to Twitter with the hashtag, #BlackLivesMatter. The hashtag soon became a slogan, then, with the help of activist Opal Tometi, an online campaign. After the 2014 killing of unarmed Black teen Mike Brown by a Ferguson police officer, Black Lives Matter gained further momentum and became an organization with chapters nationwide. Black Lives Matter is a new movement, reminiscent of the Civil Rights and Black Power movements, but one of the digital age where activism occurs as much in virtual spaces as it does real spaces. The movement calls for not only justice for Black Americans affected by police brutality, but for social, political, and economic power in Black communities. Black Lives Matter advocates for the eradication of poverty, addressing the mass incarceration problem, and ensuring that Black queer, trans, and disabled lives matter too. As it has grown in notoriety, politicians, actors, athletes, musicians, and other public figures have also joined in the movement.
