Please join us in welcoming Dr. Halifu Osumare, BGSU Assistant Professor of Human Movement, Sport, and Leisure Studies and American Culture Studies faculty member (2000-2005), on her return to the BGSU campus. Professor Osumare will present a lecture on the current state and future of hip-hop scholarship.
Dr. Osumare is the author of many articles and book chapters on hip-hop as art, aesthetic, movement, and global phenomenon. Her book, The Africanist Aesthetic in Global Hip Hop: Power Moves, will be published in January 2007 by Palgrave Macmillan. Her book explores the global roots and expression of hip hop culture, as it has developed from its origins in Africanist expressive modes and has collided with and been shaped by powerful transnational media.
Her lecture will explore the history of courses, symposia, and reactions to hip hop in academia nationally. It will examine various courses that have been taught from Harvard to Stanford, and the growing cadre of hip hop scholars. Also investigated is hip hop scholarship’s contribution to the theoretical perspectives and future growth of American and Cultural Studies, African American Studies. Latino Studies, and Youth Studies.
