Lecture series: Queer Migration to Liberation? On the heteronormativity of migration and border regimes

Migrations and borders are not only gendered, implicit and explicit heteronormative framings also structure all aspects of migration. Sexuality functions as a category of power and social organization, serves as a means of demarcation and also sets borders in motion. In this lecture series, we ask equally about the role of sexualities in the re-/production and maintenance of migration and border regimes and about moments of transgression and the production of possibilities for action.
