In this five-minute segment, Instructional Designer, Peter Musante, chats with Professor Aysha Upchurch — artist, educator, founder and director of HipHopEX, guest lecturer at the University of Texas, and former research director at Harvard’s Project Zero. Aysha challenges traditional ideas of engagement, advocating for play and community to guide experiential learning, often through the lens of Hip Hop. Together, they explore the impact of gathering, asking “what if,” and creating a sense of accountability through joy and shared experiences.
