2023 marks the 50th anniversary of the birth of hip-hop culture. From the very beginning, hip-hop has been tied to the field of education. It is said that hip-hop was born at the Back-to-School Jam held on August 11, 1973, by DJ Kool Herc and his sister, Cindy Campbell, in the basement of their apartment building in the Bronx, N.Y. to raise money for their school clothes and supplies. These parties made popular the DJing, emceeing, and dancing techniques that frame hip-hop culture. Now, for over five decades, hip-hop culture has permeated all corners of the globe and all aspects of our society touching business, entertainment, media, advertising, sports, and education. This session will be a cross generational conversation between the founding scholars of the Hip Hop Theories, Praxis, & Pedagogies Special Interest Group and leading hip-hop education scholars to reflect on the culture’s impact on the field of education and the future of hip-hop educational research.
