#HipHopEd
HipHopEd is a multi-platform and cross-curricular initiative with a goal of educating stakeholders in education and related fields about the intersections of hip-hop and education. Originally, #HipHopEd began as an online twitter chat where educators discussed larger themes related to Hip-hop and education. Since then, it has grown into a non-profit organization that focuses on conferences, curriculum, professional development, training, and youth development.
Our work provides services to a number of organizations interested in bridging theory and practice in education. We work with teachers, school leaders and policy makers in the development and implementation of Hip-Hop based interventions in areas of study that include STEM, counseling/therapy, literacy and school leadership.
As an organization, we bring together a community of educators and scholars who challenge traditional educational systems to value the power of youth culture and voice. Our work focuses on inspiring and empowering a movement that reimagines education through the use of hip-hop as text, theory, philosophy and practice in the pursuit of emancipatory schooling.
