In addition to internet research, I will also be selecting songs based on their cultural significance and if they contain a social message that provides commentary or brings awareness to social issues. Or, if there is an artist with a particular album that addresses these issues. With this, I&#8217;ll be observing song lyrics and, if applicable, the song&#8217;s music videos to see the artistic decisions that directors and artists use to emphasize the messages from their lyrics as well as the issues they&#8217;re referring to at the time. If I have enough time, I will also be looking into other mediums that discuss hip-hop and sociological insights made by audiences or the artists themselves through blog posts, YouTube or TikTok videos, and documentaries. The latter will help me understand how visuals\/music help audiences and other non-academics comprehend and digest sociological insights.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Description of Data<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Plan of collecting data.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Obtaining data through qualitative research by reading journal articles and sections\/chapters of books that discuss some of the following topics: the accessibility (or lack of) of sociology through media, the social impact of music, history and social significance of rap\/hip-hop, the criticisms of rap\/hip-hop, etc.; and observing digital media such as photography, music videos, and songs that address and provide social commentary on systemic issues; and looking into informal and formal opinion pieces (op-eds, YouTube videos, podcasts, blog posts, etc.) about rap\/hip-hop as a genre and the messages that are received in songs. Additionally, while observing and learning about the history, evolution, and contemporary prevalence of rap\/hip-hop, I will be analyzing culturally significant songs and other media that support my findings and thesis.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Date, Changes, Reasons <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Description of Methods I will gather data (journal articles, book chapters, information about songs, and images\/videos) through internet research from Google Scholar and the Bowdoin Library&#8217;s CBBCAT search.
