‘Other than in the hotel, I feel safe almost everywhere’
Drawing on participant observation and semi-structured interviews with LGBTIQ+ people seeking asylum in England and Scotland, this article explores the role of asylum hotels as sites of governance in the United Kingdom using two connected concepts. Firstly, we use the term ‘hotelized containment’ to explain how hotels are repurposed into quasi-institutional spaces of enforced waiting, everyday control, precarity, managed dependency, and limited a…

You are a gay man, and you're also Christian - how is this possible? Homosecularism, religion and LGBTIQ+ asylum in the UK
Queer asylum
The field of queer migration studies has significantly evolved in recent decades, with interdisciplinary scholars exploring the unique experiences of LGBTIQ+ people. This scholarship has emphasised that migrations are not solely motivated by economic or familial factors but are interwoven with migrants' sexuality and gender (Lewis & Naples, 2014; Luibheid, 2008). Initially, the focus was on the internal migrations of queer people from rural to ur…
Reimagining home and responsibility
This article investigates the lived experiences of queer Indonesian Muslims by revealing how the intertwined concepts of tanggung jawab (responsibility) and home are navigated within the boundaries of national values, religious faith, and non-normative genders and sexualities. Through ethnographic research across Java, Indonesia, the analysis illustrates how tanggung jawab is enmeshed with societal and religious expectations that redefine the not…

An ethnographic study based on…
Sex and Desire in Muslim Cultures

Aymon Kreil, Lucia Sorbera, and Serena Tolino set out to address the “epistemic challenges facing empirical approaches to gender normativity in the Middle East” by focusing on four key sociological premises: the fluctuating hierarchies producing norms, the variety …
