Research Assignment
Monday and Tuesday, October 29-30 we will talk specifically about the research essay and I will share examples of student projects and also show you a couple of films on Social Entreprenuers. They are not all artists; however, your assignment is to find an artist who is using his or her craft for social change.
A second topic could be to do a literature survey of a contemporary of Tupac. A third topic could be a research essay on the history of hip hop within the context of African musical forms. A fourth could look at hip hop culture as a movement and focus on the work of key figures in this movement. A final topic could be to explore one or more of the four elements of the genre.
Original topics are also welcome, as long as it fits within the themes we've been exploring this semester: hip hop culture, Tupac Shakur, Black Revolutionary Movements....
Remember, we meet in the library with Steve Gerstle, Wednesday, October 31.
