Fuzziness in LGBT Non-Profit ICT Use.
In: UNSPECIFIED.
Abstract
This note reports on the use of ICTs by a small nonprofit organization that serves LGBT youth. Our work centers on a reective evaluation of the use of online communities for LGBT community through qualitative interviews with the organization. Perceived issues around ICT use in the organi- zation were shaped by the blurred lines between professional and personal interactions online, the small size of the com- munity and ubiquity of social media use, and ambivalence of members toward online communication. The project models one way for researchers in ICT4D to work within communi- ties to develop an understanding of self-identified issues in vulnerable populations.
