Sogi Minority And School Life In Asian Contexts

Representing an often overlooked population, this book explores the experiences of LGBTQ youth in Asian countries. Contributors focus on LGBTQ youth's school life experiences, including bullying and violence, a pervasive and serious problem. This book aims to inform psychologists, mental health providers and school professionals about the needs of LGBTQ youth from 10 different Asian countries. Individual chapters present unique aspects of LGBTQ youth experiences in school contexts from different cultural perspectives. In addition, the intersectionality of LGBTQ and other minorities (including ethnicity, religion, and social class) highlights multiple sources of oppression or discrimination that can create additional pressures and stress for youth. The concepts of inter-minority conflict and inter-minority empathy are introduced to understand minority issues from new perspectives. This is a valuable reference for psychologists, social workers, counsellors, nurses, mental health professionals, and students, whether preparing for general practice, treating LGBTQ+ clients, or supporting LGBTQ+ youth in schools around the world.
