Upcoming event: Conference on SOGI and asylum decision-making, October 2026<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) in Asylum Decision-Making: Towards an Infrastructure for Evidence-Based Practice.

Where: Turku, Finland
When: 15\u201317 October 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Psych-AID organises an interdisciplinary conference which will bring together researchers and practitioners working at the intersection of legal psychology, law, gender studies, and migration. The focus is on evidence-based and SOGI-sensitive approaches to asylum decision-making, with particular attention to credibility assessment, intersectionality, and the translation of empirical research into legal and institutional practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conference aims to strengthen international collaboration and to contribute to the development of shared conceptual and methodological frameworks for research on SOGI-related asylum claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further information, including the program, speakers, and registration details, will be published on a dedicated conference page in due course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edited anthology  <\/strong>
The conference will culminate in the preparation of an edited, peer-reviewed anthology bringing together international research on SOGI and asylum decision-making. The volume will consolidate interdisciplinary perspectives from legal psychology, law, and gender studies, with the aim of providing a shared empirical and conceptual foundation for future research and practitioner training.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conference participants will be invited to contribute chapters to the anthology following the event. The volume is intended as a lasting scholarly output and as a piece of research infrastructure supporting evidence-based and SOGI-sensitive asylum practices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
