Dr. Joycelyn Wilson is a co-founder of the Four Four Beats Lab, an interactive media and design incubator dedicated to cultural preservation, immersive design, and pedagogical innovation, and assistant professor in the School of Literature, Media, and Communications at Georgia Tech.
Join us online on August 3 when Dr. Wilson talks about the digital preservation of hip hop-inspired artifacts, particularly the vinyl collection of Michael Webster, aka DJ Web, who is considered royalty in Atlanta’s early hip-hop scene and is recognized by many DJs as the person who sparked their interest in the craft.

Joycelyn Wilson is an educational anthropologist, essayist, and assistant professor of hip hop studies and digital media in the School of Literature, Media, and Communication at Georgia Tech. Her academic research intersects Black cultural production, Black making, and preservation of the Hip Hop aesthetic across integrative curriculum design in the teaching and learning of STEMAC.
Wilson’s scholarship focuses on social justice-oriented humanities instruction in STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics), hip hop, African-American music and performance, and African-American education in the South. Her scholarship also focuses on the culture, race, and technology of her native Atlanta and pop culture topics.
She is known for her use of hip hop and design theory in her computational media and humanities classes at Georgia Tech, a technique she was among the first to use while teaching in the Los Angeles public schools.
An Emmy-nominated documentary film producer and frequent contributor to The Bitter Southerner, she can comment on pop culture stories, Atlanta hip-hop, and hip-hop’s intersection with politics and culture. She also can discuss the cultural histories of civil rights and social justice in the South, educational anthropology, technology and culture. She also is available to discuss stories broadly related to the digital humanities and computational media, including interactive narrative, digital archiving, and experimental digital media.tion text goes here
