GenSeM Best Article Award - 2024
Congratulations to Dr. Asuncion Fresnoza-Flot and Dr. Herbary Cheung for their article "Temporal contextuality of agentic intersectional positionalities: Nuancing power relations in the ethnography of minority migrant women<https://imiscoe.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=31ab9324b38bad2f9c375195… >."
The selection committee applauded the authors for an article that stands out for its depth, empirical richness and originality.
"We believe that this article contains exactly the kinds of critical takeaways that qualitative and ethnographic scholarship needs...the authors developed the concept of agentic intersectionality to examine how researchers' situated identities shift and interact over the course of their research process from study design to fieldwork to analysis and writing. By foregrounding temporality rather than spatiality or sociality, the article challenges static notions of positionality and power and demonstrates effectively how researcher-participant relationships are constantly negotiated across space, sociality and time." - GenSeM Selection Committee.
In addition to the Best Article, the selection committee also highlighted two 'Highly Commended' articles, which they believe deserve wider recognition.
Irene Gutierrez Torres for their article 'Trapped in Ceuta: Reflexive tactics and methods in participatory filmmaking among cross-border women<https://imiscoe.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=31ab9324b38bad2f9c375195… >'
Dr. Karlien Strijbosch & Dr. Valentina Mazzucato for their article 'I could have married in Europe if I wanted to: How black migrant men challenge moralising and racialising discourses when returning to Senegal<https://imiscoe.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=31ab9324b38bad2f9c375195… >'.
The inaugural GenSeM Best Article Award attracted a diverse range of excellent scholarship on gender, sexuality, and migration, and the GenSeM selection committee would like to thank all scholars who submitted for this year's edition. Award winners will have the opportunity to share their work at GenSeM seminar events. This year's winners will also discuss their work on IMISCOE's The Migration Podcast<https://imiscoe.us17.list-manage.com/track/click?u=31ab9324b38bad2f9c375195… >.

This roundtable will bring novel insights on the topic of SOGIE asylum by challenging legal and academic representations of this group. The papers show how these representations are still often based on stereotypical assumptions and expectations of universal characteristics or life experiences among all LGBTIQ+ asylum seekers. Instead, the two interventions seek to bring out attention to intra-group differences among SOGIE asylees and refugees and non-Western conceptualisations of sexuality and gender identity. As such, the presentations importantly introduce new research agendas away from static understandings of SOGIE asylees as helpless victims fleeing oppressive countries and cultures in order to find freedom in the liberal ‘West’.

Dear Network,
Apologies for cross-posting or if this is the very first email you are
receiving.
Roskilde University (RUC) is under attack. Recent media and political
"debate" targeting the university’s so-called “high” intake of Bangladeshi
students is not just misleading but it is racist and unacceptable. As if
this were not enough, today’s press release from the Acting Chair of the
Board of Directors has shocked us yet again. Instead of defending our
community, this press release further reinforces Danish Prime Minister
Mette Frederiksen’s and the media's racist rhetoric.
In response, we, concerned staff at RUC, have written a joint letter to the
Roskilde University Board of Directors and Rectorate. We urge you to sign
it and share it widely.
We unequivocally condemn today’s statement by Dea Forchhammer, Acting Chair
of the Board of Directors of Roskilde University. We demand that the Acting
Chair and the Board immediately retract their statement and issue an
unconditional apology to all staff and students- in particular Muslim,
Black, and Brown students and staff.

Dear all,
Welcome to the new Queer Refugees in the Nordics (Queen) Network email list. As some of you might have noticed, our previous attempts to create a list failed. In the future, if you wish to send an email on the list, please use this email: queens(a)lists.sunet.se<mailto:queens@lists.sunet.se>
The next QUEEN Network event will be held in Malmö, as previous announced. I send the invitation again (attached). Please sign up, it´s all free of charge!
I also wish to draw your attention to two highly relevant and important events during the autumn:
1. Shaping Tomorrow: Queer Asylum in Europe conference on the 20-21 November 2025: https://coc.nl/blog/2025/07/28/call-for-papers-shaping-tomorrow-queer-asylu…
2. Queer(y)ing Asylum Symposium, at Lund University in Sweden on 30–31 October 2025: https://www.soclaw.lu.se/en/3rd-international-queerying-asylum-symposium
Some of you have also been asking me for the articles that formed the basis for my presentation in Malmö. They are now published!:
Wimark, T. (2025). Decoding Sexual Orientation in Refugee Status Determination: The Influence of Accounts of Emotions on Decision-Making in Sweden. International Migration 63(5): e70101. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/imig.70101
Wimark, T. (2025). The Limits of Refugee Status Determination Through Credibility Assessment: Empirical Evidence from Sexual Orientation Asylum Cases. International Migration Review, https://doi.org/10.1177/01979183251360677
Stay tuned,
