Profile Information
- Bio:
- Dr. Dawn-Elissa Fischer aka the Def Professor excavates Hiphop artifacts that are often rendered invisible due to conscious or unconscious bias. Dawn-Elissa is a hyper-focused crate-digger and digital diva, committed to representing “the unseen.” She specializes in collections that exhibit Hiphop’s genesis along crucial sites of the Pacific Rim. Given Dawn-Elissa’s lifelong work with a number of community-based social justice and creative arts organizations, she curates and represents movements that thrive in her home, the Bay area, including but not limited to movement work that explicitly addresses disability, gender, sexuality and educational equity.
Dr. Fischer is also a full professor in the Department of Anthropology at San Francisco State University. She teaches, researches and writes about Black popular culture, art and music in Japan, the US within global contexts. She is also a Nasir Jones Fellowship recipient and has worked on special programs/special collections with the Hiphop Archive and Research Institute, Harvard University for two decades.
