Queer Migrations Symposium 2: Borders, technologies, and Decolonial resistance クィア・マイグレーションズ・シンポジウム2：境界、テクノロジョー、脱植民地的抵抗

The second Queer MigrationS Symposium of 2025 brings together scholars, activists, and artists to critically engage with the intensifying hostilities faced by queer migrants worldwide. In an era marked by rising nationalism, anti-migrant, anti-egalitarian policies and transphobic violence, this symposium centres queer experiences of displacement, resistance, and belonging.

We aim to challenge dominant narratives of borders and citizenship by foregrounding decolonial perspectives that unsettle colonial logics and state-centric migration regimes. While digital technologies continue to shape visibility and mobility, our focus turns to the structural and affective violences that queer migrants navigate daily—from asylum systems and surveillance mechanisms to social exclusion and erasure.
