Multi-Media Presentation and Lecture

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.

Lecture to be followed by Public Reception

A member of the pioneering first cohort of students in the ACS PhD program, Jane Caputi received her doctorate in American Culture Studies from BGSU in 1982. For several years, Dr. Caputi was a faculty member in the American Studies Department at the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque. She is currently Professor of Women's Studies at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton.

Dr Caputi is the author of several books and many articles in the areas of feminist studies and popular culture. The Age of Sex Crime, (1987) is an analysis of the ritual and mythic characteristics of modern sensationalized sex murders, which began with the paradigmatic criminal, Jack the Ripper. In 1993, she published Gossips, Gorgons and Crones: The Fates of the Earth, a scathing critique of patriarchal practices, myths and values. She collaborated with Mary Daly in the production of Webster' First New Intergalactic Wickedary of the English Language (1994), a linguistically innovative feminist reclaiming of language. Her most recent book is Goddesses and Monsters: Women, Myth, Power, and Popular Culture, a Ray and Pat Browne book published by the Popular Press (2004), a collection of her essays.

Please join us this Friday to welcome Jane back to BGSU.
