Speaker: Gloria Ladson-Billings, Ph.D.
For more than 20 years, Ladson-Billings has been focused on helping teachers learn from the pedagogical expertise of those teachers who have been successful with African American students. She coined the term “culturally relevant pedagogy” to describe their work. More recently, she has come to see how the culture that invigorates and enlivens today’s students—hip hop—is a primary driver in helping maintain culturally relevant pedagogy’s viability and usefulness. In this lecture Ladson-Billings will describe how hip hop provides a hope for engaging students in a culturally relevant way to ensure their academic, cultural, and social-civic success.
