Enacting Hip-Hop Pedagogy for Joy and Justice

Abstract

Abstract This self-study illustrates how one Asian male immigrant teacher educator enacted hip-hop pedagogy to promote joy and justice in a multicultural education course at a predominantly white institution in the Pacific Northwest. Implications include how teacher educators can model hip-hop pedagogy to prepare all teacher candidates to cultivate joy and justice in their future classrooms amidst growing inequity and division in U.S. society.
