Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal explores diverse aspects of sexuality, gender identity, and LGBTQ+ experiences globally. Recent articles examine the historical formation of queer life in educational institutions, the management of erotic visibility and safety by male sex workers in the Philippines, and the disruption of gender norms through commodified intimacy in Japan's sex industry. It also investigates chemsex subcultures in China, transnational LGBTI+ activism in Latin America, and the navigation of migrant heteronormative familialism by sexual non-conforming male migrant workers in China. Further research addresses Kurdish queer activism and refugee partnerships, expressions of black queer and trans desire in Zimbabwe, and the intersectional experiences of displaced LGBTQIA+ Venezuelan youth in Brazil. The journal also covers asexual coming-of-age representations in media, the impact of disclosure on sex workers' family relationships in Poland, and the community's response to anti-Woubi hostility in Côte d'Ivoire. Additionally, it analyzes the experiences of LGBTQ+ students in Catalan schools, the criminalization of sexual labor in Chile, the representation of LGBTQ+ life stories, the exploration of desire in a Black Brazilian transgender artist's work, the challenges faced by LGBTQ+ researchers in the UK, and the evolution of non-normative gender and sexual identities in China.
