InFLO-mation: Hip Hop Principles for Library Instruction

Webinar
InFLO-mation: Hip Hop Principles for Library Instruction

Give me a beat! Don't miss Dr. Kafi Kumasi at the next SLC webinar where she will introduce the concept of InFLO-mation, an approach to learning grounded in a rhythmic base used to spark students' understanding in a communal or learning setting that mimics a rap battle. InFLO-mation emerges within a freestyle-based exchange of ideas, each round of the cypher elevating students' consciousness and creative contribution to knowledge. Dr. Kumasi will share examples of InFLO-mation from existing viral videos that draw from Hip Hop cultural aesthetics.
