In this episode, we speak to Skye who is a Forensic Psychology scholar and currently a PhD candidate at the University of Cape Town, South Africa.  Skye’s PhD project deals with questions of borders and migration, responding to migration issues, specifically centring African LGBT persons seeking asylum. It investigates broader issues around structural violence and the ongoing conversation on the politics of migration, borders of gender and sexuality and the treatment of African LGBT individuals. In this episode, Skye also walks us through the exploration of gender and sexuality; the Queer label what that means in the African sense, as an Ancestral Wife. Prior to the PhD journey, Skye was a Forensic Psychologist-In Training and worked for the UK criminal justice system, specialising in sexual offending and intimate partner violence. However, the experience of racism and prejudice in the criminal justice system eventually presented a barrier that influenced the decision to relocate to the African continent as a way to reconnect with the motherland.
