This week Cal talks to Renee & Tina Dixson, conveners of Queer Displacements: Sexuality, Migration & Exile. The upcoming conference is the first of its kind in Australia as it looks at LGBTIQ people seeking asylum and refugees on 14-15 November at Australian National University in Canberra. Renee & Tina talk through how the conference has come about, the Queer Sisterhood Project, and the unique challenges faced by LGBTIQ people seeking asylum.
