ALMN aims to advance scholarship on all facets of LGBTQI+ migration. We bring together scholars, researchers, practitioners, activists and service providers to spark critical conversations, promote knowledge exchange, support evidence-based policy responses, and initiate effective and ethical collaborations.
ALMN recognises that LGBTQI+ migration does not simply happen from the African continent, but also within and across (imposed) national borders. We are committed to both reorienting LGBTQI+ migration scholarship towards the Global South, and promoting knowledge produced within the Global South in order to challenge systemic inequality within the global academy.
ALMN was established in June 2019 by B Camminga and John Marnell, in an effort to coordinate and spotlight research on all facets of LGBTQI+ migration. B and John are both based at the African Centre for Migration and Society (ACMS), University of the Witwatersrand.
