1) How is queer Hip Hop challenging the assumption that it is a masculine genre?  What do you think is the future of global Hip Hop in this respect?

2) How do transnational Muslim youth navigate between the traditions of their parents and the modernity of their lives?  How and why do transnational Muslim youth utilize Hip Hop as a means of identity formation?
