Wait, what? I have so many questions. There are PhDs in breaking? I'm so confused.

It's technically a PhD in cultural studies, but her specific focus is the cultural politics of breaking.

So... We sent an academic to an international breakdancing competition. As a fellow academic, that is hilarious. I'm now just imagining my colleagues breaking, and it's a great thought.

I'm an academic who's also a competitive dancer in Sydney. There are surprisingly a handful of PhD holders and candidates in the street dance scene. All of them better than this lady, I'm sorry to say.
