dc.description.abstract	Scholars have long been critical of development agendas where Global North organisations develop aid programmes and resources to address inequalities in the Global South, which tend to reflect Western values, frameworks, and identity. Critical response can be seen in current calls for decolonising the ‘resourcing’ of LGBTQ+ young people in the Global South. Drawing from the postcolonial lenses of ‘Asia as Method’ and a reorienting of that paradigm through ‘queer Asia as method’, we argue for ‘queering’ approaches to digitally resourcing LGBTQ+ young people in the region by centring the knowledge of local communities. This paper is informed by findings from two research projects involving digital resources on young people’s digital citizenship, safety, literacy and participation, and the lived experiences of respondents from 10 countries across the Asia Pacific.

Abstract:

Scholars have long been critical of development agendas where Global North organisations develop aid programmes and resources to address inequalities in the Global South, which tend to reflect Western values, frameworks, and identity. Critical response can be seen in current calls for decolonising the ‘resourcing’ of LGBTQ+ young people in the Global South. Drawing from the postcolonial lenses of ‘Asia as Method’ and a reorienting of that paradigm through ‘queer Asia as method’, we argue for ‘queering’ approaches to digitally resourcing LGBTQ+ young people in the region by centring the knowledge of local communities. This paper is informed by findings from two research projects involving digital resources on young people’s digital citizenship, safety, literacy and participation, and the lived experiences of respondents from 10 countries across the Asia Pacific.
