During the event, which will take place at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 23 at the Law School Auditorium, 1111 E. 60th St., Dr. Hill will help to deepen the audience’s understanding of the country’s changing paradigms on diversity, hip-hop culture, youth, politics, and national issues.

He is the author of the pioneering "Beats, Rhymes, and Classroom Life: Hip Hop Pedagogy and the Politics of Identity," and his newest book is "The Classroom and the Cell: Conversations on Black Life in America."
