Lecture series on OutKast to launch this month at university in the USA

A lecture series entitled OutKast and the Rise of the Hip-Hop South will begin later this month at a university in Savannah, Georgia. 

Dr Regina Bradley, a professor in the Languages, Literature and Philosophy department at Armstrong State University, told Savannahnow.com that she wanted to "find a way to connect" her areas of interest:

"My areas of interest are African-American literature and popular culture. I try to find ways to connect those... Often, students get most of their information, their outlook from how they engage in popular culture. The course will focus on how Outkast's ideas about the South and southernness seep into other Southern writers."

She added: "Their final project is doing a paper that's 12-15 pages ... for what I call a 'nerdy hip-hop review'. They'll take an album of their choice - preferably an Outkast album - and give a discussion of the themes and what they hear."
