Earlier this year Howard University hosted "Hip-Hop and Higher
Education Symposium" which was focused on creating Hiphop courses for
the school.
Apparently a success, Howard University recently unveiled
three new Hip-Hop related courses that will begin this coming spring.
The curriculum is geared towards driving the students to critically analyze Hiphop using Research, Policy, Program Review, and Activist Perspektives.
Course Titles are as follows:
“Hip-Hop and the
African-American Experience” (Spring 2007)
“Black
Youth and Hip-Hop” (Fall)
In addition a Graduate Class entitled "Hip-Hop History" with "frequent lecturer," former 106 & Park host, AJ Calloway.
(If that doesn't inspire confidence that the Kulture will be better understood going forward... I don't know what does.)
The courses "were designed to serve as a model for other Historically Black Colleges and Universities in hopes that they will also incorporate them into their curriculums."
