Hip hop in Finland: Genres and generations
The research network Hip Hop in Finland: Genres and Generations is an initiative of the Finnish Youth Research Society.
The network was established in 2014 with an aim to provide both junior and senior scholars a cross-disciplinary platform for sharing, mapping, and developing research made in Finland that is related to hip hop culture in all its forms.
The network is in cooperation with Finnish Jazz and Pop Archive, the International Institute for Popular Culture, IASPM Norden, the Finnish Doctoral Programme for Music Research, and the University of Helsinki’s discipline of Social & Cultural Anthropology.
