Transnational Entanglements and Postcolonial Dilemmas: LGBTI/Queer Refugees in Europe and the Slippery Slope Between Universal Human Rights and Racism

Part of the lecture series: "Queer between the frontlines: LGBTIQ*-Politics and Mobilisations in a Translocal Perspective"

In the field of queer studies, the universality of LGBTI/queer identities and the (neo)colonial dominance within the epistemic communities and movements have long been explored through contested concepts such as homonationalism. With the arrival of numerous refugees in 2015 and 2016—many fleeing due to their sexual orientation—these discussions took on new dimensions.

In this lecture, I will examine the mobilization of civil society during the "long summer of migration" and the theoretical debates that followed.

Speaker: Prof. Dr. Wolfram Schaffar, Chair of Development Policy
