Spanish sociologist awarded £1.5 MILLION grant to transform "LGBTIQ+ Asylum Policies"
UK taxpayers have picked up the bill
The economy may be on its knees, but at least taxpayers are being charged £1,555,506 to “revolutionise the academic understanding and policy frameworks surrounding LGBTIQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer, and questioning) asylum”, ey?!
Yes, this is an actual study funded by the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) through its Future Leaders Fellowships (FLF) scheme.
While not the worst UKRI creation (which is undoubtedly the Arts and Humanities Research Council), the FLF is responsible for some real horrors, such as Decolonising Justice: Vernacular Justice Cultures Beyond the Liberal Order (which was awarded £1,164,119 and is currently underway).
