Mark V.
Campbell, PhD
Toronto, Canada Area
Hip hop culture has rewritten the rules around trendsetting and tastemaking globally, from marketing, language, fashion and to live performance. Our contemporary digital world often fails to respect the architects of the culture. I am dedicated to providing the world with access to the complex brilliance a of hip hop culture.
As an Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto Scarborough, my research focuses on exploring new modalities of being Human, the sonic innovations within black music, Black Canadian studies and the knowledge production of digital archives.
As the Founder and Curator of Northside Hip Hop Archive, I am committed to archiving the disappearing achievements of Canadian hip hop history and culture.
My research remixes how we think about being human by using various black musics to resituate and filter Western modernity through innovations in black musics.
My books, published articles, media appearances and keynote addresses primarily focus on Afrodiasporic life, hip hop, digital archiving and the Arts in both academic and popular setting. I am often invited to speak and consult both locally and internationally on issues related to:
Black Canada
Hip Hop culture
Digital Archiving/politics of knowledge production
Leadership in Arts & Culture
Outside of my academic and creative lives, I am a former Board Member with the Ontario Arts Council as well as a Community Arts jury member with the Toronto Arts Council. In an advisory capacity, I am on the Advisory of Ryerson University’s Music Den, and The Allan Slaight Radio Institute. With the International Institute for Critical Studies in Improvisation I am a Fellow and former Postdoctoral Fellow.
In my creative life, I continue to DJ and curate works that relate to Black life, with my inspiration continually rejuvenated by my two sons. Connect with me at mark.campbell@utoronto.ca

The Politics of Making Home: Opening Up the Work of Richard Iton in Canadian Hip Hop Context
Souls: A Critical Journal of Black Politics, Culture, and Society
Toronto hip hop music from approximately 1986–2000 featured several successful singles that demonstrated a focus on representational patterns, where the city was refashioned aligned with the aesthetics of AfroCaribbean diasporic communities. These tracks can be read as aggressive sonic attempts at fashioning a counterdiscourse to exclusionary local politics with the biopolitics of hip hop music and aesthetics that made “home,” forging nodes of belonging in the diaspora. Popular renderings of Afrodiasporic life reproduced an exclusionary logic that continued to render Aboriginal life not only invisible but also relationally irrelevant to notions of “home” and articulations of “belonging.” Moving through a colonial sublime that grounded an aesthetics of belonging on the exclusion of Aboriginal populations, hip hop's superpublic have worked through and begun to recognize the contingent nature of belonging and the necessary inclusion and consideration of Aboriginal presence.
