Details of MRes
This Masters by Research offers an important opportunity to build intellectual capacity for theorising the under-research area of Hip Hop culture in Britain. Britain is outstripped by thinking in the USA, where Hip Hop has embedded itself within postgraduate courses including institutions such as Harvard to Stanford. This project is a unique opportunity to foreground the wholistic embodied significance of a form that has often been colonised and disempowered by isolating its different aesthetic characteristics. It is also an opportunity to open a discussion on the ways in which Hip Hop in its wholistic approach, is the mechanism for community building and personal empowerment. It seeks to establish Hip Hop as a valued form of academic knowledge and in doing so, build the profile of Hip Hop as a unique and important form of British culture. The MReS is interested in exploring and developing new methodologies unique to Hip Hop study and supporting the most effective and ethical way of researching Hip Hop. This might include Practice-Research and employing embodied research principles.
