Our research objectives are to:
- Understand how information and communication technologies (ICTs) influence identity development and wellbeing in multiple sociocultural/geographic contexts;
- Integrate the role of information and communication technology into existing theoretical frameworks;
- Use integrated frameworks in online programs for queer youth resilience and wellbeing, responding to sociocultural and geographic contexts;
- Help LGBTQ+ youth organizations incorporate ICTs in policies/programming
