Hip-hop feminism in Music Education

The concept of intersectionality stems from Black feminist theory and recognises the reality of multiple and simultaneously existing forms of discrimination (Crenshaw, 1989; Hill Collins, 2008; Combahee River Collective, 2017). Intersectionality as an approach and consideration in music education in Germany has experienced a recent surge and researchers and practitioners from this field are also encountering hip-hop culture and music, including its accompanying problems and possibilities, in the classroom (Siedenburg,2022). Hip-Hop feminism is a feminism that seeks to create a more nuanced and practice-based approach to dealing with intersectional marginalised perspectives and knowledge production (Morgan, 1999; Lindsey, 2015; Knight Steele, 2021). In this workshop, I want us to consider some developments of hip-hop feminist theory – including bringing the wreck (Pough, 2004), Digital Black Feminism’s threading and stitching (Knight Steele, 2021) and kinetic orality (Gaunt, 2006) – and suggest how these methods and concepts can contribute to a critical intersectional (hip-hop) music education. I will be drawing on research recently conducted for an article.
