At a pivotal moment in Vietnamese history, this pioneering collection brings together a new generation of Vietnamese scholars—both within Vietnam and in the diaspora—to examine how gender and sexualities are lived, taught, expressed, understood, and resisted in contemporary Vietnamese society. Moving beyond the dominance of Global North epistemologies that have long shaped scholarship in this field, it centers Vietnamese voices to explore how gender and sexuality issues are discussed and framed pedagogically in Vietnamese social, cultural, pedagogical, and political contexts. Through diverse methodologies ranging from critical ethnography and autoethnography to quantitative research and arts-led scholarship, contributors examine current challenges facing Vietnamese LGBTIQ+ communities and aim to offer essential insights for educators and policymakers working to support gender and sexual diversity. Together, their reflections act as both a crucial intervention in Vietnamese gender studies and a significant contribution to global scholarship on LGBTIQ+ experiences in the Global South.

The book is essential reading for researchers in gender studies, Southeast Asian studies, LGBTIQ+ studies, and comparative education, as well as policymakers and advocates working toward greater inclusion and human rights.
