Under the UK’s hostile immigration system, it’s difficult for *anyone* to successfully gain asylum. For gay people, this is made worse by hostile legal logics that determine sexuality and persecution using stereotypes. I’ve written about this in more detail here: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Coming soon! The SAGE Handbook of Decolonial Theory, of which I’m the lead editor. All royalties will be donated to Gaza. Since these books tend to be expensive, ask your libraries to purchase it when it’s published in July 2025. Cover is not official.
