Deborah Faudoa Rodríguez, ‘An intersectional approach to LGBTIQ+ Iranian refugees in the United Kingdom: A blog post’, NQIfFM, Brighton, 2022

Excerpt

In the present text I will briefly contextualize the current situation LGBTIQ+ people face in Iran, as well as the difficult process they go through when trying to apply for refugee status in Europe. I will then explain the concept of intersectionality, its importance as a theoretical perspective, and the way it can be applied to research projects regarding LGBTIQ+ refugees. This text is written within the framework of the project “Negotiating Queer Identities Following Forced Migration”, that I was a part of during my research stay as an International Junior Research Associate at the University of Sussex.
