Queer migration literature has challenged the heteronormative assumptions that have traditionally shaped both academic and activist discourses on migration. This panel focuses on contemporary issues in the field of queer migration by looking into the experiences of transnational mobilities, displacement, and exile from an interdisciplinary perspective. 
This recording is from the conference titled "Navigating the Changing Times of Gender, Sexuality, and Migration in Europe,” organized in June 2023 in Berlin with the collaboration of the Humboldt University of Berlin and Heinrich Böll Foundation.
Panelists: B Camminga, Omar Kasmani, Sarah Scuzzarello, Yener Bayramoglu 
Moderation: Anna C. Korteweg
