He teaches courses on hip-hop culture, Latinx hip-hop, subcultures and youth music scenes, musical subcultures and social movements, children’s folklore and service learning, and play gaming, and sports.

Comments:
Rory and Kit,
Please for his profile information to me so that I can confirm that the information is correct. I solicited this information prior to Thanksgiving and felt that it was a duplication of effort for them to fill it in again. I also, thought that as an academic, it might be a little hard to have them respond over the Christmas break. I did not think that I would get a response until mid-January when they returned to the campus. The moderator made the request to all the panelists and they are her former students. I should be able to correct all phone numbers by Thursday, December 22, 2022, at the latest.
