Course Number and Name: HMU405H1/MUS1151H  Gender, Urbanity and the Culture of Hip Hop   Course Description:  Rooted in the music and street culture of Black and Latin American urban youth amid the rise of the post-industrial crisis, Hip Hop culture has been a masculinist terrain since its inception. While women and female identifying persons have been among the culture’s creators, they have not always been adequately commemorated as part of Hip Hop’s grand narrative, nor have they been appropriately credited for their contributions and innovations. Working against tremendous odds to contest their ongoing marginalization and objectification, women in Hip Hop developed gender-specific strategies to carve out greater space, access, expression, and representation. Using a variety of archival texts and mediums, this course will explore Hip Hop’s origins and the politics of historical erasure; race, ethnicity and Blackness; gender, queerness, and intersectionality; misogyny, gendered violence, and exploitation; resistive practices, sounds and performances; negotiations with power, capitalism and industry; and the rise of Hip Hop Feminisms.   Class Schedule: Mondays 9-11 am   Months of contract: January to April 2027   Salary: $9,997.48   Estimated Course Enrollment: 30   TA support: yes                                                                                            Qualifications: Doctoral degree in musicology or closely related field. Extensive knowledge of hip-hop culture, history, and scholarship, particularly in relation to intersections of race, gender, and identity. Demonstrated excellence in university-level teaching, particularly in courses on hip-hop and related cultural forms.   Duties: Define course objectives and materials; provide clear guidelines on course requirements and regulations; teach classes as scheduled; administer and evaluate student assignments; prepare and submit final grades in accordance with policy.
