This course explores how HipHop, a quintessential manifestation of

African American culture, is adopted and adapted by African youth to
fight for social justice and democracy in their local contexts, while at
the same time constructing a diasporic African sensibility and "cultural
citizenship" that transcends boarders and oceans. Beginning with the
history, culture, and politics of HipHop in the U.S., we compare and
contrast HipHop's development in Africa with specific attention to
Senegal. Students will develop a familiarity with youth culture and politics
in Senegal and study the ongoing process of cross-cultural flows and

proficiency in and competency of in vitro maturation, fertilization, embryo
development, cell culture, sterile bench technique, synchronization of
the female estrus cycle, embryo transfer, non-surgical embryo recovery
and cryopreservation by completing 2 complete cycles of embryo
production in vitro. Students work in teams of 3-4 individuals. During
the first production cycle students will perform all tasks while observing
and working alongside of the instructor. The second production cycle
will require the students to perform independently (of the instructor)
who will only intervene in the event that the actions of the student will
be lethal to the process and/or outcome. Each week (Monday) students
will be presented with a controversial subject or topic related to cellular
biology and/or reproduction. These ethical dilemmas are almost entirely
within the realm of human assisted reproduction. Using any means and/
or media desired, students are required to formulate responses in favor
and in opposition of said topic. Each Friday, following the course quiz,
students will be randomly selected to defend one side of the argument
by articulating their viewpoint from the assigned perspective even
if it is not their personal opinion. The objective of this exercise is to
demonstrate the nature and influence bioethics may have on policy
decisions impacting future research endeavors and/or science based
initiatives. As well, students will grapple with representing a viewpoint

animals in modern literature as a way to give an account of the cultural
history of human-animal relations and, in doing so, to make us reflect
upon the social, political, and environmental consequences of this history
at a time when animal species are disappearing at an alarming rate.
