CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
Equity & Excellence in Education
Special Issue:
Hip-Hop and Social Justice Education:

Guest Editors:
Roderic R. Land, University of Utah and David O. Stovall, University of
Illinois-Chicago

The main objective of this issue is to critically assess Hip-Hop and its
utility and applicability for practice among educators. We welcome scholarly
research that focuses on, but is not limited to, pedagogical and curricular
issues, feminist and other epistemologies, hip-hop and praxis, equity, access,
and social justice issues embedded in theory, research, and practice.  We also
welcome manuscripts that examine topics such as the following:

Research syntheses: To what extent can Hip-hop be used in
social justice education?

Empirical inquiries: case studies of social justice initiatives
that employ Hip-hop; case studies that include Hip-hop that are grounded in a
social justice framework. The unit of analysis may range from interactions with
one or more students, to a classroom, to a school, and/or to an entire
community.

Policy inquiries: What are the implications surrounding
teacher-student and student-student interactions, pedagogy and curriculum,
school organization, community/school partnerships?

Political Implications:  To what extent does hip-hop
influence/affect political education and participation/activism?

Theoretical inquiries: Do Hip-hop and social justice education
employ the same (or analogous) theoretical groundings and conceptual
orientations? If so, to what extent? With what implications?  If not, what are
the differences, and can they be bridged?

Contrasting perspectives: To what extent does social justice
education problematize hip-hop and practice (e.g., around issues of power,
identity, inequities across categories, such as class, race, and ethnicity)?

Synergistic perspectives: How can Hip-hop enhance social
justice education, and vice-versa?

Narrative and/or descriptive accounts of Hip-hop pedagogies in
various contexts framed by appropriate literature reviews.

Diverse conceptual, methodological, and empirical work is encouraged.
Manuscripts may focus on any subset of the K-16 educational system.
