Queer Migrant Mobilities
Mapping Everyday Bordering and Belonging

Many migrants face challenges when settling in a new city. These challenges vary depending on cultural and linguistic background and are often compounded for individuals who identify as LGBTIQ+. This research examines some of these everyday challenges and investigates public spaces where people feel safe and welcomed, at risk, or excluded in Australia. This project highlights the importance of conducting research at the intersections of migration, gender, and sexuality in migrant-receiving countries across the globe.
