Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Recent political, legal and social shifts in relation to the rights and recognition of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) people in Vietnam have facilitated increasing openness about the non-heteronormative preferences of young adults. However, established societal and familial norms related to the importance of heteronormative marriage and family values continue to impact significantly on the ways in which these young adults are able to live their lives. In this chapter, we examine young Vietnamese LGBTQ adults’ experiences of face-to-face encounters and their navigation of social interactions. The chapter is based on ethnographic fieldwork which involved semi-structured group and individual interviews with young women aged 20 to 29 who identified as lesbian, bisexual and/or queer, as well as employees at nongovernmental organizations dealing with LGBTQ issues and politics. The chapter sheds light on the ways in which young LGBTQ adults engage in impression management in order to “keep face” and not “lose face,” reducing their own vulnerability while also protecting their parents and upholding the collective face of the family.

Reconfiguring labour and welfare in the Global South : How the social question is framed as market participation
-
In: Global Social Policy. - 1468-0181.
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This special issue explores the intertwining reconfigurations of labour and welfare in the Global South by bringing together eight empirical studies of different national and transnational contexts and three commentaries. It asks how Global South people and states alike have come to prioritize market logics as guiding principles for welfare systems, moving away from collective risk-pooling towards individual responsibility, and how this reorientation is connected to the restructuring of labour. In this introduction to the special issue, we discuss the genealogies of the social question and review the growing academic discussion on the changing landscape of welfare in the Global South. We then underscore how the contemporary social question is predominantly framed in the terms of people’s capacity for market participation in the specific empirical contexts discussed by our authors. The framing of the social question as such, and the accompanying solutions to it, we argue, disregards politics, political economy and social justice at the cost of the more urgent social question that confronts the increasingly asymmetrical power relations between labour and capital.

THE LGBT MOVEMENT IN VIETNAM1
- 2023
-
In: Routledge Handbook of Civil and Uncivil Society in Southeast Asia. - London : Routledge. - 9781000840995 - 9780367422011 ; , s. 223-241
-
Book chapter (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This chapter examines mobilisation around sexuality and gender identity in Southeast Asia through an examination of how the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) movement in Vietnam has pursued full recognition and equal rights for all, regardless of sexuality and gender. As the chapter details, the Vietnamese LGBT movement is composed of informal activist groups and networks as well as formally registered, nation-wide associations. The LGBT movement in Vietnam has been galvanised by moral and financial support provided by international non-governmental organisations (NGOs), aid agencies, and representations (e.g. embassies) which include equal rights in their platforms. Over the years, the movement has successfully managed to change public opinion and legislation on sexuality and gender, yet the path to full recognition of LGBT people in Vietnam has been and remains fraught with challenges.
