Árdís: Our field researcher in Greece and Italy
Árdís K. Ingvars is an adjunct in Sociology and a researcher at the RIKK Institute, at the University of Iceland. Currently she is focusing on the experiences of queer refugees who are deported from the Nordic states to Italy and Greece on the Dublin grounds. She is, furthermore, associated with the Centre for Gender Studies at Karlstad University where she follows refugee activist from a previous study in Greece, as they un-settle in Germany.
Árdís is the project’s field researcher and is responsible for conducting interviews with SOGIE refugees that have been deported via the Dublin convention to Greece and Italy. The intent of this part of the project is to investigate social experiences of reception, integration and deportation of SOGIE refugees. Our overall aim to improve policies, increase acceptance of diverse queer experiences, and procure an interactive online information site, for queer refugees.
