Episode description

LGBTIQ+ people continue to face persecution and discrimination in virtually every region of the world. Many of them are forced to migrate or seek asylum. Our panellists will discuss the unique challenges that LGBTIQ+ migrants and asylum seekers face, in their home countries, in the course of migration, and in receiving countries.

Dr Sarah Singer is Senior Lecturer in Refugee Law at the Refugee Law Initiative, School of Advanced Study, University of London. Her research interests are refugee law and policy, human rights and migration. She is a recognised expert on criminality and asylum, and has broader research expertise on humanitarian accountability, detention and protection of LGBT+ asylum seekers.  

Dr Aydan Greatrick is a Visiting Researcher at the Department of Geography, University of Leeds and an expert in LGBTQ+ asylum support, protection and forced migration. He has over seven years experience researching the intersections between forced migration, humanitarianism, gender and sexuality, with a particular focus on LGBTQ+ asylum and displacement in Europe and the Middle East.  

Chair: Prof Phillip Ayoub, Professor of International Relations, UCL
