Aims and Scope

 

Global Hip Hop Studies (GHHS) is a peer-reviewed, rigorous and community-responsive academic journal that publishes research on contemporary as well as historical issues and debates surrounding hip hop music and culture around the world, twice annually. The journal provides a platform for the investigation and critical analysis of hip hop politics, activism, education, media practices and industry analyses as well as manifestations of hip hop culture in all four of the classic elements (DJing/turntablism, MCing/rapping, graffiti/street art and b-boying/b-girling/breaking and other hip hop dances), the under-examined realms of beatboxing, fashion, identity formation, hip hop nation language (HHNL) and beyond. Centred around the truly global collection of established scholars on its advisory board, GHHS privileges the insights of people of colour and supports and encourages those of all marginalized, subordinated and disenfranchised global citizens who are engaged in manifesting progressive political and social change and expanded intellectual vistas.

 

The journal’s content consists of:

• articles (6000–10,000 words);

• book reviews (1000–2000 words);

• media reviews (1000–2000 words);

• In the Cipher (artist-centred outputs) (1000–4000 words);

• Dive in the Archive (archival pieces) (1000–4000 words);

• Show and Prove (400–2000 words and high-res image for cover).
