Unit II - Challenging paradigms of gender and sexuality through a queer lens

Queerness in Hip-Hop has been evident for years.  Some of it may have been a "sign of the times," but other images suggest tight fitting clothes, low-cut shirts, men wearing dresses or women wearing baggy clothes are simply fashion trends in Hip-Hop culture. Does one suggest gender/sexuality or perhaps something else? I think our discussions about "MOBs," male Christians, & non-heteronormative behaviors have challenged your ways of thinking about both sexuality as well as gender, especially in Hip-Hop music, artists, fashion & performances.  Please share something new you've walked away with from this Unit.  And, will HH be the same for you?   Due: Fri., 10/7/16 by the beginning of class.
