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@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:

2. Queer(y)ing Asylum Symposium, at Lund University in Sweden on 30–31 October 2025:

Some of you have also been asking me for the articles that formed the basis for my
presentation in Malmö. They are now published!:

Influence of Accounts of Emotions on Decision-Making in Sweden. International Migration
