Sex for Shelter? Power, Precarity, and Sexual Propositions Among Male Migrants in European Transit Zones
Background Racialized migrant men are frequently framed as deviant and hypersexual, obscuring the complexity of their intimate and sexual relationships during and upon migration.

Little is known about how sexual encounters unfold during migration journeys, where precarious legal and materia…
Waiting and wanting to desire
This paper explores migrant men's sexual and affective desires, the constraints on their sexuality, and how unmet needs are managed during migration and transit across Europe.

The 2023 revision of this Code also emphasizes the importance o…

Despite an increased interest in the functioning of migrant families, the perspectives of migrant fathers remain marginalized in practice, policy, and scientific research. Very little is known about how migration impacts fathering practices and how migrant fathers may best be s…
