#RedbirdScholar Viraj V. Patel is exploring the power of #HipHop for his dissertation in @educationISU's @TCH_ISU. Inside his home studio, he's researching those "aha" moments when words and sound come together—examining how affect shapes literacy, identity, and meaning-making. His work goes beyond language to the feelings music conveys, helping him reconcile his liminal identity between India and the United States. "When I'm writing Hip Hop songs, I am able to make sense of my multiple realities," Patel said. Read more about his innovative research: news.illinoisstate.edu/2026/… @ISUGradSchool
