Episode 6: Breakdancing in the Olympics & Culture Vultures
In this episode of Culture Shock Therapy, Dr. Katrina Gipson dives into the evolving presence of hip hop on the global stage, especially with breakdancing's debut at the 2024 Paris Olympics. We reflect on the legacy of hip hop legends, the controversies surrounding cultural representation, and the recent viral story of Rachel Gunn, an Australian academic whose Olympic breakdancing performance sparked debates about authenticity and cultural appropriation. Join us as we unpack what it means to be a "gatekeeper" of culture, the impact of cultural appropriation, and why understanding these issues is crucial in today's social and political climate.
