New open access book:
Queerly Faithful: Queer People’s Experience of Religion in Asylum
Seeking
(Emerald Publishing, Nov. 2026) [open access]
- "An assumption present in refugee status determinations is that there is
an incompatibility of religious faith and queer subjectivity.
Queerly Faithful considers religious experiences throughout the lives
of queer people who seek asylum to show the complexity of queer people's
lives in country of origin, the legal asylum process and rebuilding lives in
host countries. How do queer people experience religion before and after
arrival into the UK to claim asylum?"
