By focusing on the work of specific artists and movements, we will compare and contrast the production and consumption of hip-hop with other forms of popular music (including jazz, rock, disco, and pop). This course shows how musicians and listeners use hip-hop to express ideas about topics such as economics, nationalism, black power, feminism, and violence.

This course examines the experiences of African-American student-athletes, with an emphasis on Division I college revenue sports (football and basketball). Beginning with an historical account of the creation of the "black athlete" and circumstances that propelled this group into the mainstream, students will investigate and unpack various issues and topics concerning the political, social, cultural, economic, educational and ideological forces that contribute to and shape the African-American athlete's experience. The course also specifically investigates how college athletic programs have contributed to the state of crisis of black male athletes, with educational and life outcomes often pointing to exploitation. This includes unpacking the structural forces that create challenges for African-American student-athletes and investigating the extent to which college sports consistently place African-American student-athletes at a disadvantage.
