Researching SOGI Asylum

Abstract

The SOGICA project ran from September 2016 until August 2020. In these four years, the project consisted of different phases: (1) delineating the project’s methodology and theoretical and analytical frameworks, in particular how human rights, feminist and queer studies and the concept of intersectionality can be used as particular lenses for the analysis of SOGI asylum claims; (2) preparing and conducting fieldwork in Germany, Italy, the UK and at EU and Council of Europe levels; (3) analysing the data, writing up the results and producing detailed policy recommendations.
