Locating LGBTIQ+ youth in the archive: Telling new stories for belonging

该项目旨在首次研究澳大利亚过去的LGBTIQ+青年，并调查这些历史对今天的LGBTIQ+青年意味着什么。我们将产生关于澳大利亚LGBTIQ+历史的新知识，以及与LGBTIQ+青年相关的历史知识和福祉之间的联系。与LGBTIQ+青年合作，我们还将开发新的档案叙事技术，将档案理论化为“归属感的实验室”。在这样做的过程中，该项目在讲故事的文化研究、LGBTIQ+青年研究和澳大利亚历史之间建立了联系。福利包括修复历史方法的创新，GLAM、青年和教育部门的新资源，以及LGBTIQ+青年福利的改善。

This project aims to produce the first study of LGBTIQ+ youth in Australia’s past and investigate what these histories mean to LGBTIQ+ youth today. We will generate new knowledge of Australian LGBTIQ+ history and links between historical knowledge and wellbeing in relation to LGBTIQ+ youth. Working with LGBTIQ+ youth we will also develop new archival storytelling techniques, theorising archives as ‘laboratories of belonging’. In doing so, the project forges links between cultural studies of storytelling, LGBTIQ+ youth studies and Australian history. Benefits include innovations in reparative historical methodologies, new resources for the GLAM, youth and education sectors and improvements in LGBTIQ+ youth wellbeing.
