Meets with AAS 299. This course examines hip hop's emergence from and relation to urban landscapes deeply impacted by state surveillance, cuts in social welfare programs, immigration, and the global restructuring of capital. Our investigation will also consider the viability of a "politics of hip hop" in the wake of hip hop's rising value as a global commodity. This class will also analyze hip hop as a transnational site in which gendered and sexual identities are created, contested, and rearticulated.

Meets with AIS 199. This course examines how and why criminalization is a racialized process in the United States that affects different communities of color in different ways. For instance, why do Native Americans have a different relationship to the criminal justice system? Why did the private prison industry in Arizona push for SB 1070 (AZ?s recent anti-immigration law)? Why are women of color the fastest growing prison population? To discuss these and other questions, we will cover topics that include unlawful immigration, juvenile delinquency, prostitution, and street drug addiction.

Meets with AAS 299 and CW 202. This course is a creative writing workshop designed particularly for writers of color, but also inclusive of writers from other marginalized and oppressed groups. Students will turn in either narrative fiction or creative non-fiction stories to be critiqued by their peers. The workshop will be a safe space in which writers can explore and develop their craft in an atmosphere of support and understanding, where writers can get feedback from each other, and where writers can be empowered to continue to write about the stories they feel are important and necessary. In this class we will examine the relationship between form and content, stories and politics. In addition to sharing your own creative pieces with each other, you will also read and discuss stories by published writers.
