Belonging and sexual citizenship among gender and sexual minority youth

在少数群体青年的心理健康和福祉受到有据可查的威胁的背景下，该项目将研究在澳大利亚成长的两代不同性别和性少数群体青年的经历，以及他们认为最有用的支持来源。创新的背景分析将涉及文献和档案研究以及个人和团体访谈。通过在一个迅速变化的社会世界中促进福祉和参与性公民意识，研究结果旨在为从青年到成年的过渡提供新的理论，改进边缘化和有时难以接触的人群的研究方法，以及更高质量的政策和实践。

In the context of well-documented threats to the mental health and well-being of minority young people, this project will examine the experiences of two different generations of gender and sexual minority youth growing up in Australia, and the sources of support they have found most useful. Innovative contextual analysis will involve documentary and archival research alongside individual and group interviews. Through a focus on the promotion of well-being and participatory citizenship in a rapidly changing social world, the findings aim to contribute new theory concerning transitions from youth to adulthood, improved methodology for the study of marginal and sometimes hard-to-reach populations, and better quality policy and practice.
