"Boundaries of Queerness" has gotten its second review, written by @riekeschroeder.bsky.social in a Kvinder, Køn & Forskning special issue on Decolonisation! Thank you, Rieke, for your insights!

From Borders to Bodies: “Circlusion” and Desires Beyond Credibility in Queer Asylum Borders and boundaries have long served as powerful metaphors in migration and queer studies, yet they risk reproducing heteronormative paradigms that equate (border) penetration with power, and mo...

New article in the Journal of Homosexuality, foregrounding
queer refugees’ desires and pleasures and moving beyond the predominant focus on credibility, suffering, and borders.

New special issue on “Decolonisation” in the Danish gender journal Kvinder, Køn & Forskning. Bringing together decolonial and Indigenous scholarship with feminist and gender studies, the issue is especially timely given renewed geopolitical attention to Kalaallit Nunaat (Greenland).

The winter term is about to start, and with it our lecture series on "Global Politics, Gender, and (In-)Equality". The lectures will take place on selected Thursdays via Zoom.

The series unpacks the complex entanglements of global politics, gender, and (in-)equality in contemporary societies. [1]

We very much look forward to talks given by Ana Larissa Oliveira, @marielreiss.bsky.social, Jasmin Lilian Diab, B Camminga, & Alyosxa Tudor.

The series is organized in collaboration by Ulrike Krause & @riekeschroeder.bsky.social (@ifpolms.bsky.social polms.bsky.social) & Inga Nüthen (Uni Kassel).

Berlin is often imagined as a queer safe haven. But my research shows that support spaces for queer refugees are still shaped by racial, gendered, and classed hierarchies. Trans, inter, and non-binary refugees in particular often find themselves on the margins, even in spaces created for them.

While coming out is often seen as a liberating step in Denmark, queer refugees’ experiences reveal a more complex reality - one of strategic (non)disclosure across different spaces and times. Let me know if you don’t have access!

#QueerAsylum

Drawing on our doctoral research in Denmark and Germany, we examine the ways queer refugees and support organizations resist these colonial surveillance practices. Our research reveals the complex dynamics within these organizations, which may both uphold and challenge the systems of surveillance.

We identify how colonial surveillance operates in the decision-making processes that assess queer refugees. Our findings highlight the role of fear in shaping their narratives in a system that often enforces rigid binary classifications of gender and sexuality.

Coloniality In queer asylum: towards theorising ‘colonial surveillance’ and its resistances This article introduces the concept of ‘colonial surveillance’ as a tool for analysing contemporary regulatory practices within queer asylum. Based on interviews and ethnographic fieldwork with que...
