This course will look at the intersections of hip hop and race from a variety of perspectives. Students will discuss how race and racism inform hip hop, and what the musicians want audiences to understand. The most important aspect of this course is listening-to each other and to the musicians studies. In each of the discussion-based meetings, students will respond to the music of the political rappers of the early and middle 1990s, as well as to articles written by cultural historians, journalists, and hip hop artists between 1990 and 2008. 0.25 units, Lecture

This course explores how hip hop has become an important tool for social activisms and dissent in many areas of the world. Looking to the origins of "conscious rap," in the United States, students will trace how marginalized young people across the world are using hip hop as a political voice and artistic outlet. Examples include Muslim artists rapping about Islamophobia in Europe, Pacific Islanders calling for a nuclear-free Pacific, and West African rappers expressing frustration at the legacy of colonialism. 0.25 units, Lecture

This course draws from the major themes raised in the previous three courses in this series. Students will link the roots and practice of hip hop music in the United States to a dialogue about race in this country and marginalized people globally. It is designed to run after Trinity's International Hip Hop Festival so that students can integrate ideas from the symposia with the experiential learning of the festival. Students will be encouraged to produce either an analysis of these ideas or a creative piece that explores the central themes of the series. 0.25 units, Lecture

3.00 Credits
This course will provide an overview of the main themes within the newly emerging field of health and human rights. By examining definitions of "health" as well as exploring notions of human rights, particularly the development of socio-economic rights, students will engage with the congruence as well as some of the tensions between these two ideal concepts. Topics will include: the health status of vulnerable groups, scientific research ethics, international mechanisms that support the attainment of health as a human right, and the role of health care professionals in this quest. Students will be expected to begin to identify competing rights with regard to health and apply elements of critical thinking to support choices between these rights. There will be a three hour per week placement in a community health site. 1.00 units, Lecture
