    So far (and this keeps changing), I prefer the use of "formal" rather than "proper" as it doesn't imply anything about correctness, just audience expectations. I would love to know what adjectives others use! #HipHopEd

  • norarahimian Apr 10 @ 9:18 PM EDT
    "Academic language" has a lot to do with race & class & respectability politics. Part of our work is rethinking what expert/knowledgeable/professional look like by pushing hip hop and other languages in spaces where its not normally validated. #hiphoped https://t.co/X6l4o698oZ

    Don't get it twisted. As #HipHopEd Scholars we do work that the institution does not want us to do. Traditional journals deny conceptual hip hop pieces asking for more evidence, deny grants to conduct studies to generate said evidence, & then say qualitative pieces aren't enough
