Biography
Yasser Payne has organized a street ethnographic research program
centered on exploring notions of resilience and resiliency with The Streets of
Black and Brown America using an unconventional methodological framework
entitled: Street Participatory Action Research (Street PAR)—the process of
involving street identified Black populations on the actual research team.
Street PAR projects can take on many forms, but at the very least, they take on
the following three features: (1) research orientation; (2) intervention for Street
PAR members; and (3) a vehicle for action and activism in local communities.
Dr. Payne’s specialized courses focus on the lived or ethnographic experiences
of street- identified Black and Brown populations.
