In one of your posts about LGBT representation in other countries you tagged you can share ethnographies about LGBT people in non-western countries, can I get them please? Thank you and take care.
Ethnographies are generally more accessible than most academic writing because they often use narratives as a way to present their arguments, so I hope yâall can give them a try if they sound interesting to you.Â
Please note that this list is not at all exhaustive, and some of them i havenât read personally as they were recommended by my great bud from grad school who, unlike a certain someone who shall not be named, actually kept on doing research with lgbt people and did not turn on a dime to do something wildly different from their initial research proposal đ
