Nocella II and hosted by the Department of Sociology, Durango Hip Hop, Sociology Club, Criminology Club, and Durango Save the Kids with many sponsors  is a grass-roots, non-funded, fully-volunteer, free event (with donations being requested and welcomed during the conference). This conference promotes Hip Hop activism and the relationship between Hip Hop culture and social justice. This conference will have workshops, presentations, roundtables, and discussions about the politics of Hip Hop. As this is a volunteer-led effort, the conference will not cover food, but attendees can eat in the cafeteria, where there will be vegan options. We have no scholarships or funding to pay for lodging or travel of anyone.

Nestled in the Rocky Mountains, Durango, Colorado is an international vacation destination with hiking, bicycling, camping, skiing, rafting, climbing, art galleries, wonderful restaurants/cafes, and Native American ruins. Durango, Colorado has a local airport, over twenty hotels, public transportation, and is one of the most beautiful mountain towns in the United States. We invite you to not only attend the conference, but save time to enjoy the natural world as well.
