Edmund Adjapong Ph.D.

Excited to announce that I was awarded Tenure and Promotion at Seton Hall University!! I’m most proud because I’ve gained this achievement in 5 years, by being my authentic self and by engaging in scholarship that addresses racial inequities and celebrates the beauty of hip-hop!

I feel like Kendrick capitalized off of what is currently going on in society to bring more attention and give a deeper yet more understandable explanation as to what is actually going on and how people of color feel. #HipHopEdSHU

@gab_sutera There are a few women. But they are not prominent.

noticing now that in all the symbols on it, there are no women in the to pimp a butterfly cover #HipHopedSHU

@tyraswrlddd We’ll talk about this after. Want to hear your perspective.

the transition of what hip hop represented back then vs now is kinda cray...... #HipHopEdSHU

@NickHabib124332 Exactly!

I love that they call the turntables and all of those techniques a "science." These are not just musicians, they are inventors and innovators too. #hiphopedshu

@rachelb357 why not?

Does breakdancing belong in the Olympics? #hiphopedshu

@kayalejo19 Damn

Some of my classes are still set up like that 1890 pic #HIPHOPEDSHU

@WillowConn4681 or how youth are born into a world where they are faceed with systemic challenges outside of their control

@Jake12343344981 Question of the day!

#EDST3510 Why is the classroom so cold?

@alex_desid74308 Great question let’s discuss next week!

#EDST3510 I think that today’s class was excellent, but I now raise the question: how does one fight against inequality beyond their small classroom (in the school, nation, world, etc.)?

Happiest of birthdays 🥳 to the smartest most dedicated educator I know! Love you @gjladson 💚🩷

In my latest blog, I dive deep into the influence of hip-hop on American politics, why artists take diverse political stances, and how educators can bring hip-hop into classrooms to inspire civic engagement. medium.com/p/938d1c823123

I love and hate NYC in the summer. It’s a complicated relationship.

To everyone who has engaged with my new book, Humans Who Teach: I appreciate you. I just feel so full today. I’m here at the park reflecting and smiling. I truly hope this book moves us all closer to our humanity and to the world we all deserve. Thank you. This is ours. ❤️
