"Clarifying Street Culture: Integrating a Diversity of Opinions and Voices"

It was a pleasure to work alongside G. James Daichendt, Sebastian Kurtenbach, Paul Gilchrist, and Monique Charles and to be invited by Criminologist Jeffrey Ian Ross (follow his work on Twitter @jeffreyianross) to co-author the article: "Clarifying Street Culture: Integrating a Diversity of Opinions and Voices," published in Urban Research & Practice (22 June 2019).

As presented in the abstract: "This article synthesizes current ideas about the study of street culture by examining six major questions that street culture researchers currently grapple with. The article outlines suggestions for improving scholarship in this field," for "despite the frequency of its usage in the social sciences, urban planning, and selected areas of the visual arts, rarely is the term street culture defined and when it is, the definitions are often conceptually lacking."

Interestingly, this collaborative project began as a Twitter chat with #streetculture on Sept. 8, 2018--each participant responded to questions about the way "street culture" is defined within their respective academic field of study. The resulting article is available here.
