...return to Cambridge in a tenured role. In September 2004, just months after Summers turned down Morgan’s tenure case, she and Bobo announced their joint departure for the West Coast, where job offers awaited them at Stanford.Morgan became the executive director of Stanford’s Hiphop Archive and an associate professor of communication. At Stanford, an associate professorship is a tenured position. Bobo assumed Stanford’s Martin Luther King Jr. Centennial Professorship and became director of the school’s Af-Am program as well as its Center for Comparative Studies in Race...
...Prudence Carter`s Sociology 60, “Sociology of Race and Ethnicity.” The former’s pop-cultury material is accessible to anyone who resides outside of a cave and Kaufmann`s opinionated rants, outlandish personality, and penchant for underground hiphop make lectures worth attending. Carter is famous for being a better adviser than she is lecturer, but the class offers an interesting perspective on a difficult problem. Inexplicably (or, perhaps, rather explicably), the number of sociology concentrators in the class of 2008 is about half that of the class of 2007. Nevertheless...
...Kern winners of the 1930s to ?It?s Hard Out Here for a Pimp? this year. But, hell, the competition comprised of a woozy liturgical ballad from Crash and an uptempo number from the bottom of the Dolly Parton song trunk.

That guy?ll be invited back, even if his dude duds obliterated the dress code...

The result carries both the heft of hiphop and the prettiness of indie electronic. The effect of this fusion can be disorienting, but in a way disorientation is precisely the point: in the opening track, “The Letter: P,” Herren sets up a snatch of movie dialogue, only to undermine and distort the voices...
...DJs/producers/rupture and esp are not new to Harvard. Jace Clayton (/rupture) and Mike Esposito (esp) started the Toneburst Collective while they were undergraduates here. The loose-knit collective spans multiple genres and media, uniting jungle, ambient and hiphop DJs and producers like DJ Flack, Embryo and Electro Organic Sound System with video-and installation-artists like Synergy Promixions. They organize numerous events in the New England area which are more like carnivals than raves or concerts, combining abstract beats, video experimentation and performance art in unorthodox spaces. A production last year, Junk, was staged in a church and featured junglists...
