Funded Activity Summary

Local Noise: Indigenising Hip hop in Australasia. The research will lead to an increase in public understanding of the cultural, linguistic, social and pedagogical importance of hip hop culture in general, and particularly among youth of indigenous, Pacific and non-Anglo background in Australasia. Particular emphasis will be placed on the empowering aspects of hip hop as a means of asserting confidence among youth from indigenous and migrant backgrounds, and the educational applications of hip hop, providing new material for multicultural and indigenous programs in schools, along with fostering the employment of hip hop artists in schools and community centres to teach, disadvantaged young people.
