Course Description
Course information provided by the 2025-2026 Catalog.
Hip Hop is embraced as one of the most important movements of the past half-century, offering a unique opportunity to examine issues such as art, music, dance, identity, and politics. Students will examine Hip Hop's trajectory-from a 1970s grassroots community-based phenomenon in the Bronx, to a force that continues to shape music, fashion, and other aspects of pop culture and society today-and learn about the multicultural, cross-generational dimensions of Hip Hop's evolution, while sharing their own perspectives and experiences. Through reading, listening, and viewing a variety of media, and guided discussions with visiting artists and community members, students will explore the history of Hip Hop's core artistic elements and its cultural perspectives and contributions.
