The study aims to gain a better understanding of the issues that persons who identify as LGBTQIA face, the resilience strategies that enable respondents, and how the costs of these resilience strategies are negotiated. It covers the following five thematic areas: (1) understanding what acceptance means for respondents, and how they try to navigate towards it; (2) charting the types of discrimination and stigma that respondents face in their educational environment; (3) identifying the resources and support networks respondents use to cope with discrimination and what, if any, consequences accompany their use; (4) determining the impact of protective and promotive resilience strategies on the context of adversity and the gaining of acceptance; and (5) exploring how respondentss fears and hopes for their futures evolve during higher education. The study finds that while respondents use multiple resilience strategies to carve out a space where they belong and find acceptance, these strategies are costly. The costs are born out of and reinforce the stigma and discrimination against LGBTQIA prevalent in Indian society. Individuals and the LGBTQIA community on Delhi campuses have thus had to strategically navigate their environment to modulate these costs. Our research indicates that these strategies can in turn be used to alter the context of adversity for LGBTQIA students on Delhi campuses. 2015-02-26T15:53:00Z 2015-02-26T15:53:00Z 2014 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2014/01/23900652/resilience-lgbtqia-students-delhi-campuses http://hdl.handle.net/10986/21523 English en_US Education Resilience Approaches (ERA) program,Systems Approach for Better Education Results (SABER); CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Working Paper South Asia India |

This study finds that college-going
Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Queer Intersex Asexual
(LGBTQIA) persons on Delhi campuses face a highly
discriminatory context of adversity, which makes their
desired outcome for acceptance virtually impossible to
achieve. Using the mixed-methods resilience research
approach, this project examines how they negotiate through
these challenges to reach some approximation of acceptance
in their lives. The study aims to gain a better
understanding of the issues that persons who identify as
LGBTQIA face, the resilience strategies that enable
respondents, and how the costs of these resilience
strategies are negotiated. It covers the following five
thematic areas: (1) understanding what acceptance means for
respondents, and how they try to navigate towards it; (2)
charting the types of discrimination and stigma that
respondents face in their educational environment; (3)
identifying the resources and support networks respondents
use to cope with discrimination and what, if any,
consequences accompany their use; (4) determining the impact
of protective and promotive resilience strategies on the
context of adversity and the gaining of acceptance; and (5)
exploring how respondentss fears and hopes for their futures
evolve during higher education. The study finds that while
respondents use multiple resilience strategies to carve out
a space where they belong and find acceptance, these
strategies are costly. The costs are born out of and
reinforce the stigma and discrimination against LGBTQIA
prevalent in Indian society. Individuals and the LGBTQIA
community on Delhi campuses have thus had to strategically
navigate their environment to modulate these costs. Our
research indicates that these strategies can in turn be used
to alter the context of adversity for LGBTQIA students on
Delhi campuses. |
