Embodied Hip-Hop: gender, race and street dance in an urban arts school
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This work looks at the role of street dance in forming student understandings of hip-hop cultureand identity in an Urban Arts high-school. In particular, this thesis asks how the incorporation of street dance and hip-hop culture by community artists into the school affect the gendered and racialized dynamics of the school culture. These questions are addressed through a focus on bodily practice and how that practice affects students’ sense of belonging within hip-hop based education. Drawing from ethnographic data collected over two years of involvement in the school, the thesis focuses on student and artist perspectives on two hip-hop dance units taught in physical education classes. Through narratives, found poetry and theoretical analysis, the author connects the ethnographic data to Judith Butler’s theory of performativity and Kimberlé Crenshaw’s writing on intersectionality. The author poses an argument that embodied practice creates a form of discourse that can be particularly valuable for learning and discussing connections between hip-hop, race and gender in school spaces.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
