Hip-Hop Education in the Heartland - July 6th-10th University of Wisconsin at Madison
Looks cool, Raven posted this in another group...
***
Each summer, Urban Word NYC teams up with the University of Wisconsin’s Office of Multicultural Initiatives (OMAI) to offer this weeklong program for teachers, educators, community leaders and education students to learn the best practices in hip-hop and spoken word pedagogy. Winner of the 2007 North American Association of Summer Sessions “Creative and Innovative Program Award,” this institute brings together the leading educators, professors, emcees and activists utilizing the media of spoken word and hip-hop as relevant, dynamic and necessary educational tools to engage students across multi-disciplinary curricula.
Each day, institute participants will learn proven, hands-on techniques that will help them to develop lesson plans and strengthen their course study, as well as create a platform from which they will understand the scope of hip-hop history, culture and politics. The night programming consists of an all-star cast of lecturers and performers who will synthesize the day trainings with effective strategies and cutting-edge multicultural educational approaches.
This year, we have also added many new workshops, as well as an advanced training track for participants who have attended the training institute in previous years. These opportunities will help educators deepen their practice as spoken word and hip-hop educators, as well as engaging the best practices in student-centered liberatory education models.
Day Programming | Let’s Build: Morning and afternoon sessions are aimed at giving course participants the tools to engage the 21st century classroom. Each day follows a theme that will further strengthen participants’ knowledge and understanding of spoken word and hip-hop culture, politics and pedagogy.
Night Programming | Night programming features readings, panel discussions, hip-hop theater and a concert! Two NYC poetic trailblazers Bob Holman and Willie Perdomo kick things off, while a packed line up of local and international hip-hop artists close out the week.
For Teacher’s Institute application and registration information, contact Katrina Brook Flores. Her info is kbflores@wisc.edu, 608-890-1006. Space is limited.

Wondering if podcasts will be available from some sessions in the Teacher's Institute (and how these might be accessed). I'm teaching a grad level course on popular culture in literacy classrooms k-12 that attracts a fair number of master's students who are full-time teachers. Always looking for ways to expand their options.
Also wondering why spoken word and hip-hop culture pedagogy doesn't have a larger presence in the South. Comments? Thoughts? -

I'd be very interested to hear possible answers to the last three questions; coming from Cal, where it was visible and pronounced, I'm surprised by its seeming low-keyness here. Is anybody writing/doing research on this in the South? Having been here only three years, I'm still an outsider, so I'm not sure but would love to hear thoughts of the locals on this....
