Hip Hop Youth Research & Activism Conference

The Hip Hop Youth Research and Activism (HHYRA) Conference brings together youth from diverse communities for a day of workshops, dialogues, and interactions that revolve around the ideas of Hip Hop and social justice. The conference will take place on May 20, 2022 at Rutgers University- New Brunswick and will feature workshops and presentations led by high school and college students whose proposals were reviewed and accepted by the HHYRA Youth Leadership Council.

In the fall of 2022 The Rutgers Graduate School of Education will also be accepting applications for the HHYRA Youth Leaders Fellowship. Read the letter from Dr. Lauren Kelly about the Hip Hop Youth Research and Activism Conference and HHYRA Youth Leaders Fellowship here.
