Abstract

Hip-hop pedagogy is an impactful branch of culturally responsive pedagogy in today's humanities classrooms. As the founding theorist of culturally responsive teaching, Dr. Gloria Ladsen-Billings, regarding hip-hop pedagogy stated, “Hip-hop can be an important cultural vehicle for connecting with new century students…the anthropologist in me believes that it is important to know as much about a culture with which you work as possible.” Dr. Joan Morgan first coined the term hip-hop feminism, which she defined in her notable memoir, When Chickenheads Come Home to Roost: A Hip-Hop Feminist Breaks It Down. This chapter highlights how a humanities professor at an HBCU taught an online English course that was focused on hip-hop feminism and Black women's digital communications in hip-hop culture from past to present. This chapter has implications for online teaching, hip-hop pedagogy, teaching college English, culturally responsive pedagogy, and student writing.
