The UW-Madison will host a semester-long fall lecture series based on the scholarship and art of Hip Hop.
The entire campus and broader Madison community are invited to attend the free lecture series which is a cooperative venture of the Office of Multicultural Arts Initiatives (OMAI), the Havens Center and the Office of the Vice Provost for Equity and Diversity.
For nine consecutive weeks some of the nation’s top experts in the emerging field of hip hip studies will present their research and perspectives on a variety of themes in a myriad of academic disciplines (including Sociology, History, Women's Studies, Communication Arts, etc.).
The series is tied to a hip hop studies faculty hire initiative spearheaded by OMAI and supported by a growing number of senior faculty and university departments and units whose objective is to recruit new, diverse faculty members to the UW-Madison in an area of growing interest and relevance to the rapidly diversifying student body.
