About
Hosted by the Hip Hop Studies Program, the 4th Annual Hip Hop Studies Conference will take place November 13–15, 2026 at Howard University. This year’s theme, “Last Night a DJ Saved My Life,” centers the DJ as a foundational force in Hip Hop culture—exploring their influence across music, technology, community, and global cultural production. Starting with kickoff musical event on Friday night, it will be a dynamic weekend of panels, workshops, performances, and conversations with scholars, artists, and practitioners from around the world.
