Project description
Supervisor: Mark Campbell (Arts, Culture and Media)
The goal of this interactive media project is to build an educational resource that allows users to engage hip-hop musical texts from multiple disciplinary perspectives. We will work to reveal and analyze the ways hip-hop culture’s creative practices, informed by the culture’s aesthetic foundations, are used, in order to create a multidisciplinary interactive educational resource. This project welcomes RAs with interests in hip-hop culture, historical research, diaspora studies, and de-colonizing movements. Skills in web design, GIS mapping, video editing, data visualization and programming are needed; proficiency in French, Spanish, Creole, Arabic, Tagalog, or Visaya are an asset, but not required. RAs on this project will develop a nuanced and sophisticated suite of research and project management skills.
Information Sources and the Research Process
A variety of traditional publications (e.g. scholarly journal articles) and archives and newspapers can be beneficial as you investigate Hip-Hop Music's Politics and Impact.
Use the tabs on the "Research Resources" box below to find some key tools to get started. Your liaison librarian Paulina Rousseau (paulina.rousseau@utoronto.ca) can provide in-depth guidance on how to use these tools and build comprehensive search strategies to maximize your research efficiency and find the resources that you need. I am happy to help!
