About This Podcast

Queer(y)ing Asylum is a podcast about LGBTIQ+ asylum: the stories, the politics, and the everyday realities behind the headlines. Hosted by Dr Diego García Rodríguez, each episode brings together scholars, practitioners, artists, and people with lived experience to explore forced migration through an intersectional lens: credibility and “proof”, borders and bureaucracy, faith and sexuality, mental health and structural violence, housing and detention, activism and survival, and the everyday strategies people use to endure and to remake community.
