This course examines hip-hop music and culture as sites of rhetorical practice, linguistic discourse, and social power. Students analyze lyrics, production, performance, and remix culture to study rhetorical strategies, multimodal argument, and code-meshing. Through collaborative and community-centered research and multimodal composing projects, students explore how hip-hop challenges dominant language ideologies and reshapes academic voice. Grounded in antiracist pedagogy, the course emphasizes sustained, transformative engagement with rhetoric, culture, and community.
