Aims and scope
The International Journal of LGBTQ+ Youth Studies is an international interdisciplinary research forum dedicated to improving the quality of life for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, two-spirit, intersex, queer, questioning, and allied youth.

This quarterly journal presents peer-reviewed scholarly articles, book reviews, practitioner-based essays, policy analyses, and revealing narratives from young people from a wide-range of discourses, contexts, and theoretical disciplines. The papers and works we publish are committed to advancing knowledge and public understanding, advocacy, scholarship, and support for sexual and gender minority youth.

The wide-ranging topics include, but are not limited to formal and non-formal education, family, work, health, sports, leisure, law, media, peer culture, religious/faith-based institutions, and the visual, performance, and creative arts. We are open to all methodological approaches and welcome contributions that are critical, intersectional, and push theoretical boundaries and have value and relevance to an international audience.

Peer Review Policy:Taylor & Francis is committed to peer-review integrity and upholding the highest standards of review.
