听
Kalonji Nzinga is a professor of Learning Sciences and Human Development at the 麻豆视频. He is a trans-disciplinary researcher and storyteller studying how the cultural worlds we are part of affect our perceptions, our ethical imagination and our development. He is particularly interested in the cultural innovations of those from the Global South and how we can use them as assets and protective factors, assisting us in producing the worlds we wish to see. One example of this is his study of hip-hop and rap culture and its potential for helping Black and Brown youth 鈥渨rite the word and write the world鈥� (as Paolo Freire might say), envisioning and communicating new futures of wellness and cultural self-determination.
