Abstract
Brian Foster knows his way around the University of Mississippi. In fact, he won the Center's Peter Aschoff Award for the best paper on Southern music in 2011 with his BA Honors thesis, "Crank Dat Soulja Boy: Understanding Black Male Hip-Hop Aspirations in Rural Mississippi." This fall, the Center for the Study of Southern Culture and the Department of Sociology and Anthropology welcome him back as a new assistant professor of sociology and Southern Studies. Foster returns to the university from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where he earned his MA and began his PhD work. Prior to entering UNC-Chapel Hill Foster earned his bachelor's degree from the University of Mississippi.
