While campuses across the United States have been offering spoken
word programs for over 20 years, little attention has been paid to
their purpose and impact beyond their contribution to the campus
social aesthetic. There is an increasing understanding that
performance poetry and spoken word is much more than entertainment.
Within disciplines such as English, Ethnic, WomenaEURO (TM)s, and
Cultural Studies, scholarship has identified spoken wordaEURO (TM)s
role in developing political agency among young adults; its utility
for promoting authentic youth voice; and its importance as a tool
of cultural engagement. This book aEURO" compiled by scholar
artists, including internationally recognized spoken word
performers aEURO" offers guidance to student affairs professionals
on using spoken word as a tool for college student engagement,
activism, and civic awareness. It makes the case that campus event
spaces need to transcend their association with the theatre or art
departments to provide a venue where students are allowed to be
different and find opportunities for personal and intellectual
development, and civic engagement. Open mic nights offer college
students a way to speak out, advocate, lead, educate, and explore
with their peers. This book presents a mix of critical essays and
college student writing that explore themes of spoken word, student
engagement and campus inclusion, and address these key topics:
Spoken word as an educational, civic engagement, and personal
development tool (particularly among traditionally marginalized
communities) The links between spoken word and social activism (art
as social action; art as a form of civic leadership) The importance
of privileging student voice in student affairs programming (even
when they yell; even when theyaEURO (TM)re angry) The challenges
that come with engaging students in exploring intersecting concepts
like race, gender, class Considerations for creative and
intentional spoken word programming (What does a creative program
look like?) Scaling up for sustainability (through student
affairs/academic affairs partnerships, study abroad collaborations,
etc.)
