Ratchetdemic
âRatchetdemic will inspire a new generation to be their authentic selves both within and beyond the classroom.ââGZA of the Wu-Tang Clan
A revolutionary new educational model that encourages educators to provide spaces for students to display their academic brilliance without sacrificing their identities
From the nationally renowned educator and New York Times best-selling author of For White Folks Who Teach in the HoodâŚand the Rest of Yâall Too
Dr. Christopher Emdin advocates for a new kind of student identityâone that bridges the seemingly disparate worlds of the ivory tower and the urban classroom.
Because modern schooling often centers whiteness, Emdin argues, it dismisses ratchet identity (the embodying of ânegativeâ characteristics associated with lowbrow culture, often thought to be possessed by people of a particular ethnic, racial, or socioeconomic status) as anti-intellectual and punishes young people for straying from these alleged âacademic norms,â leaving young people in classrooms frustrated and uninspired. These deviations, Emdin explains, include so-called âdisruptive behaviorâ and a celebration of hip-hop music and culture.
Emdin argues that being âratchetdemic,â or both ratchet and academic (like having rap battles about science, for example), can empower students to embrace themselves, their backgrounds, and their education as parts of a whole, not disparate identities. This means celebrating protest, disrupting the status quo, and reclaiming the genius of youth in the classroom.
