Performance Studies and Autoethnogrpahy: Poetic Inquiry

Option 1

 * Section Overview:
 * This overall section should focus on LGBTQ+ performance studies and autoethnogrpahy. It should include topics of violence resistance, performative studies on social change, and historical / poetic inquiry. Topics I noticed are, resistance, social change, and identity. I have coordinated with my buddies to brainstorm this section by ensuring we all had different topics in regard to performance studies and autoethnogoraphy that still stayed on theme.
 * Topic Focus:
 * One topic of peer-reviewed LGBTQ+ Communication Research that should be in this section is the use of Poetic Inquiry . This topic would be important to include because it is an alternative way of representing the LGBTQ+ community and experiences.
 * Source(s):
 * I would like to include Lambert (2016) because this journal aims to show how representation of "being different" through poetic forms can offer new knowledge to the readers and a voice to marginalized individuals. Research was conducted on five queer experiences and the transcripts from the interviews were analyzed and turned into a a poetic inquiry of emotions, senses, vulnerability and concerns to provide a powerful representation.

Option 2

 * Section Overview:
 * This section should overall focus on Lgbtq+ Family communications. Topics i have noticed in my article searches are parenting, coming out, mental health, chosen families, and safety. I coordinated with my buddies during class to determine who would be working on each topic under this section.
 * Topic Focus:
 * A focused topic of this section should be Chosen Families. This is an important factor because they are a huge support system and an intersection of ones identity. Chosen families serve as a critical support systems and promote overall well being and communication.
 * Sources:
 * I would like to include Alessi et. al (2021) because it highlighted the role that chosen families had on LGBTQ+ migrants and how to give them the support they need. The purpose of this research was to understand the LGBTQ+ migrants family lives prior to moving to South Africa, and how strong of an impact their social and chosen family relationships had after migrating.
 * Potential Current Wikipedia Article(s):
 * I would recommend we link to the Family of choice main page because it's only subject currently is family of choice in the LGBT community, but still needs improvements and more information.

Option 3

 * Section Overview:
 * This section should also focus on Lgbtq+ family communications. Similar to Option 2, topics that I frequently saw within my Communication Studies journal searches included mental health, communication, safe spaces, and family.
 * Topic Focus:
 * A topic focus that would be in this section is LGBTQ+ nonacommodating parenting and its impact on mental health. This would be an important topic to use because parental behavior is a building block of ones self esteem and identity. Having support and acceptance is crucial in ones mental well being.
 * Sources:
 * I would like to include Decker & Schrodt (2022) because the research investigates the importance of open and accepting communication between sexual minority children and parents. Nonacommodating parents with identity gaps can make communication harder and negatively affect the sexual minorities' well being.
 * Potential Current Wikipedia Article(s):
 * I'd recommend using the LGBT youth vulnerability main page because i think nonaccomadating parents and its affect play a huge role in youths vulnerability, as it affects ones mental health and self esteem/identity.
