We seek to continue current conversations on campus regarding academic freedom and to ask for whom and under what circumstance(s) it exists within the larger context of human rights events both nationally and globally. In addition, we would like to explore the complexities and critiques of doing social justice work. Guided by the question of what constitutes education, we invite the campus community in general, and graduate students in all fields in particular, to our first event:
Speaker: Dr. Bettina Love
Talk: Hip Hop Pedagogy, Racial Battle Fatigue & The State
Cypher Workshop: Can’t Do The Work Without The Elements: Social Justice & The 5th Element of Hip Hop
