College of Arts and Sciences' Podcast Features History of Hip Course

LEXINGTON, Ky. (Dec. 3, 2012) — The College of Arts and Sciences produces podcasts that demonstrate work being done by the faculty and students in the college. Each week, UKNow will highlight a podcast. This week focuses on a unique course offering for the spring.

Professor Thomas Marksbury hopes to address some of these questions this coming spring semester in his class UKC 310: History Of Hip. The class, which satisfies a UK Core requirement in Intellectual Inquiry in the Humanities, will encourage students to trace their own paths through the history of “hip,” a meditation on its permutations throughout history and those individuals who embodied it.
