Exploring Hip Hop Culture
Have you ever wondered how
modern hip hop has integrated
into American culture? Join a cut-
ting-edge conversation on the cul-
tural connections between black
music and everyday life during a
Black History Month talk at War-
ner Paciic College.
Daymond Glenn, vice president
for community life, chief diversity
oficer and assistant professor of
urban studies at the private, south-
east Portland school, will examine
the complexity of hip-hop culture
and its implications for under-
standing the experiences of black
boys in schools and society.
The free and open to the pub- Daymond Glenn
lic lecture is scheduled for Sat-
urday, Feb. 20 at 7 p.m. at the
McGuire Auditorium, 2219 S.E
68th Ave.
Glenn is part of an editorial
team of scholars for the national
Journal for Hip-Hop Studies. He
is also author of “Critical Condi-
tion: Black Males and Multicul-
turalism in Higher Education,” a
book that discusses the challeng-
es, complexities, and possibilities
of black men and multiculturalism
in predominantly white institu-
tions of higher education.
