A conversation with Dr. Chris Emdin and Dr. Edmund Adjapong. Dr.
Edmund Adjapong, a rising star of education leadership at Seton
Hall University, who also coordinates #HipHopEd, is also a
protege of Dr. Emdin, who was his high school physics teacher,
then continued mentoring him as a professor when Dr. Adjapong
went to grad school at Columbia University's Teachers College. We
discuss their work in culturally responsive pedagogy, #HipHopEd,
and critical views about how authenticity, agency, and voice must
