Stevie “Dr. View” Johnson is an award-winning DJ, producer, scholar, and cultural architect whose work sits at the intersection of Black sound, creative practice, community organizing, and critical scholarship. He currently serves as the Assistant Professor of Creative Practice in Popular Music at The Ohio State University, where he advances a model of Hip Hop creative practice that integrates DJing, sampling, mashups, cultural memory, and community-based research. Dr. View earned his Ph.D. in Higher Education Administration from the University of Oklahoma. His groundbreaking dissertation, Curriculum of the Mind, became the first non-traditional dissertation to win the 2019 Bobby Wright Dissertation of the Year Award from the Association for the Study of Higher Education (ASHE). The project blends narrative, music, performance, and community-centered inquiry to illuminate the lived educational experiences of Black students. Curriculum of the Mind is now being published as an interactive e-book by University of Michigan Press, slated for release in April 2026. The forthcoming publication expands the work into a multimodal, sonic, and visually immersive scholarly experience that redefines what academic research can be. As a creative practitioner, Dr. View is the founder of SOUSE, a platform and performance-research company designed to reposition the DJ as scholar, archivist, historian, and cultural facilitator. Through SOUSE, he curates immersive mashup experiences that merge archival music with contemporary soundscapes, allowing audiences to experience Black history, identity, and cultural lineage through layered sonic storytelling. SOUSE serves as both a research methodology and a community-facing performance practice rooted in lineage, creativity, and liberation. Dr. View is also the Founder & Executive Producer of Fire in Little Africa, a 21-track Hip Hop album, documentary, podcast, and curriculum inspired by the legacy of Black Wall Street and the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. Released through Motown Records, the project mobilized over 60 artists, scholars, and community leaders to produce a transformative cultural archive that brings the social memory of Tulsa into national and global conversations. In 2023, Dr. View was named the Nasir Jones Hip Hop Fellow at Harvard University, where he expanded his research on DJ practice, sonic memory, and the role of Hip Hop as a vehicle for community healing and historical preservation. His work at Harvard deepened his interdisciplinary approach to linking music, community engagement, and cultural scholarship. Across his work: on stage, in the studio, in the classroom, and in community, Dr. View is committed to elevating Black creative knowledge, honoring cultural lineage, and transforming the possibilities of creative scholarship.
