Ari Shaw Ingrid Eagly | LGBT ASYLUM Cases in the US and Recommendations for Better Tracking

Today, Ari Shaw Director of International Programs at the Williams Institute, and Ingrid Eagly Law Professor at UCLA joins Immigration Nerds.

The Williams Institute conducts independent research on sexual orientation and gender identity law and public policy.

In March earlier this year, the team completed a comprehensive research paper titled LGBT ASYLUM Cases in the US. Where they tracked the data of LGBTQ-related asylum cases, the types of persecutions experienced worldwide through fear interviews, and provide recommendations to improve our policy and asylum tracking systems.
