''Moving as One: TikTok as Culturally Responsive Teaching''
Research highlights from his book, Renegades: Digital Dance Cultures from Dubsmash to TikTok. Using his face-to-face classroom as a case study, he explores how hip hop dancing on TikTok can help teachers and students create stronger relationships and a more formidable sense of community. This presentation analyzes how unison movement and muscular bonding create an affective response in students and teachers. He argues that dancing in unison with students on social media creates an affective response that helps build stronger relationships between students and teachers. The result is an anti-racist pedagogy that centers students in the learning experience. As such, this work is a testament as to how social media apps can be used as tools of hip hop education and culturally-responsive teaching.
