In this enlightening episode of "Hip Hop Can Save America," host Manny Faces dives deep into the transformative power of Hip Hop in education with distinguished guests Dr. Lauren Kelly and Dr. Daren Graves. Both scholars are co-editors of the groundbreaking "Bloomsbury Handbook of Hip Hop Pedagogy," aiming to establish authentic guidelines for the implementation of hip hop education in classrooms.

Key talking points include the importance of engaging young people through Hip Hop culture and the role of Hip Hop sensibilities in innovative research methodologies. As Dr. Graves explains, “Using Hip Hop sensibilities like rap, rupture, and mixing as a way to approach research can truly revolutionize academic methodologies.” Dr. Kelly adds, “We need to validate the work of doctoral students authentically entrenched in Hip Hop culture; it’s about questioning institutional indoctrination and creating spaces for authentic learning.” For those eager to rethink educational frameworks and make their classrooms more inclusive and connected to the culture, this episode is a must-watch!
