The Queerness of Hip Hop/The Hip Hop of Queerness” project seeks to make a critical intervention in both areas of study by placing the fields alongside each other. In other words, “The Queerness of Hip Hop” looks to engage the ways that queer theory can (re)frame various disciplinary approaches in the rapidly growing field of Hip Hop Studies. One of the main goals of the project will be to focus on the emergence of Queer Theory as a viable analytic in the academic areas of hip hop cultural studies and African American cultural production while also and conversely examining hip hop’s roots in gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender activism and intellectual growth.
