  • “Our” Science: Hip Hop Epistemology in STEAM Education
    From “They” Science to “Our” Science: Hip Hop Epistemology in STEAM Education Maurice E Dolberry A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2015 Committee: Geneva Gay, Chair Wayne Au Christopher Emdin Program Authorized to Offer Degree: College of Education ©Copyright 2015 Maurice E Dolberry University of Washington Abstract From “They” Science to “Our” Science: Hip Hop Epistemology in STEAM Education By Maurice E Dolberry University of Washington Chair of Supervisory Committee: Professor Geneva Gay College of Education Keywords: hip hop; science; math; critical race theory; epistemology; pedagogy Hip hop has moved from being considered a type of music into being understood as a culture in which a prominent type of music originates. Hip hop culture has a philosophy and epistemological constructs as well. This study analyzed those constructs to determine how conceptions of science factor in hip hop worldviews. Pedagogical models in culturally responsive teaching and Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) education were also examined to discern their philosophical connections with hip hop culture. These connections were used to create two theoretical models. The first one, Hip Hop Science, described how scientific thought functions in hip hop culture. The second model, Hip Hop STEAM Pedagogy, proposes how hip hop culture can inform STEAM teaching practices. The study began by using Critical Race Theory to create a theoretical framework proposing how the two theoretical models could be derived from the philosophical and pedagogical concepts. Content analysis and narrative inquiry were used to analyze data collected from scholarly texts, hip hop songs, and interviews with hip hop-responsive educators.

  • Israeli & Palestinian Hip-Hop As Tools
    Jonathan Krones 21M.775 Fall 2006 Prof. Thomas DeFrantz Possibilities for Peace: Israeli & Palestinian hip-hop as tools for achieving a stable, long-term peace in the Middle East On September 13, 2006, a hip-hop show in Manhattan commenced just like many others in numerous clubs and venues across the city that evening. MCs, DJs, and spoken- word artists used the stage at S.O.B.’s to rhyme, freestyle, scratch, and preach to a packed house about life, respect, political action, and peace. The event attracted artists from many backgrounds: male, female, black, white, there were some who hosted grudges for others also on the bill, some were unsigned, and some had best-selling records. While this scene could probably be applied to any number of hip hop festivals held in the city every year, this particular event was unique. It was the Hip-Hop Sulha, and it featured Israeli and Palestinian hip-hop artists together on the same stage as a method for promoting positive dialogue in the chaotic Middle East conflict [Korat]. Hip-hop has long been touted as the music of the ‘hood, representing those forgotten, or worse yet, deliberately overlooked by the system, able to excite the masses into positive social action with thumping beats, witty, catchy flows, and stinging commentary of the status quo. While many scholars of hip-hop believe the corporate takeover of the nineties has left American hip-hop impotent, the same cannot be said for foreign hip-hop. Hip-hop movements in both the Hebrew-speaking and Arabic-speaking parts of the Middle East are just entering their golden periods.

    The Network of Collaboration Among Rappers and its Community Structure Reginald D. Smith *Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Sloan School of Management, Building E52, 77 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA 02139-4307 Bouchet-Franklin Research Institute, P.O. Box 360262 ,Decatur, GA 30036-0262 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. The social network formed by the collaboration between rappers is studied using standard statistical techniques for analyzing complex networks. In addition, the community structure of the rap music community is analyzed using a new method that uses weighted edges to determine which connections are most important and revealing among all the communities. The results of this method as well as possible reasons for the structure of the rap music community are discussed. PACS numbers: 89.75.Hc,89.65.Ef,87.23.Ge,89.75.Hc arXiv:physics/0511215v4 [physics.soc-ph] 19 Jan 2006 The Network of Collaboration Among Rappers and its Community Structure 2 Over the last decade, there has been a revolution in our understanding of networks that permeate many aspects of our universe. Among the many networks studied have been the Internet[1], metabolic pathways[2], sexual contacts[3], instant messaging[4], scientific collaborations[5, 6], Congressional committees[7], and even comic book characters[8]. On a note related to this paper, the network of shared online personal music libraries also has network characteristics and can collectively define official (and unofficial) music genres [9]. What all of these networks exhibit is small world behavior, which is the behavior that the average shortest path between any two nodes in a network is extremely small compared to the size of the network.

One of the most prevalent areas of the internet’s cultural dominance is in popular music, and this thesis addresses how the internet is being understood and discussed by popular music artists. I study the works of Grimes and Childish Gambino, two popular music artists who grew up alongside the internet’s rise to cultural dominance and explicitly address this experience as an integral component of their lives and works.
