Summary

Global Asylum Routes examines the perilous journeys and varied receptions faced by LGBTQ asylum seekers fleeing persecution. This book addresses the crucial question of how effectively international mechanisms protect these vulnerable populations amidst increasing global migration. A key insight is that while international laws exist, their implementation differs significantly across countries, leading to disparities in asylum outcomes.

 
The book highlights the fact that cultural attitudes and legal interpretations in receiving countries greatly impact the success of asylum claims. The book explores two interconnected areas: the specific routes LGBTQ individuals take to escape unsafe environments and the diverse responses from countries receiving these asylum applications. It emphasizes the gaps in current protection mechanisms by focusing on government policies and societal acceptance.

 
Did you know that LGBTQ individuals have historically faced systemic discrimination and violence, compelling them to seek refuge elsewhere? This book offers context on international human rights laws, particularly the 1951 Refugee Convention, and how it's interpreted differently across nations.

 
The book's approach is to first introduce legal and sociological concepts, then to map common migration routes, and finally to examine asylum adjudication processes in various countries. Through mixed-methods research, including legal analysis and interviews, the book provides policy recommendations aimed at enhancing the protection and integration of LGBTQ asylum seekers. This exploration of political science and social science sheds light on the complex realities of global migration for LGBTQ individuals.

    Doc Holliday didn’t begin his career as a gunslinger. The fact that he was known as “Doc” speaks to his first profession. For as sure and true as his aim might have been, his initial career path did not involve shooting bullets—it involved pulling teeth. He was a dentist by trade who ended up becoming a gambler and gunslinger by necessity. 
Diagnosed with tuberculosis, Doc Holliday knew that he was living on borrowed time, and he lived his life accordingly. He didn’t waste one precious moment fearing what might happen to him should things not go his way. Yes, just as clearly as he knew the stakes in a card game, he knew that life was a gamble. He simply lived from one day to another, playing the hand that he was dealt as best he could. This is his life and his story in full.

    Perpetua - The Woman the Martyr

    An intimate and human portrait of Perpetua, a third-century woman author who was idealized as a Christian martyr On March 7, 203, in the monumental amphitheater at Carthage, Vibia Perpetua was one of five Christians who met their deaths after refusing to venerate the Roman emperor Septimius Severus and his son. Perpetua stood out from the other four, and in fact from all the other martyrs of her era and before: she was an aristocratic married woman with an infant son, and she is the first female prose author whose work survives. Offering a probing new translation of Perpetua's extraordinary prison diary and situating the life behind that diary within the turbulent late Roman Empire, Sarah Ruden tells the story of Perpetua's remarkable feat of self‑invention as a martyr. As she builds on Perpetua's own words and integrates them into their religious and historical contexts, Ruden shines a light on Perpetua's disarming candidness, her brashness, and her naïvété. In contrast to traditional portrayals of the saint as a brave but submissive young woman, Ruden's narrative reveals a complex individual who flaunts a vivid public persona as a martyr while at the same time navigating the emotions of a mother, daughter, sister, and friend approaching death.

    It’s time we start looking at career success differently. 
Perhaps you have heard the expression, “I’m at the bottom of the food chain.” This phrase is often used as reference to a person’s lack of power in the workplace or social group. And if you look at power and success in careers, the goal is typically to climb to the top and become a titan of the industry. 
But does the top of the food chain hold all the power? Success? What if I told you that some of the most powerful people, right now, are at the bottom?  
With a nature-based lens focused on careers, this book explores the power of lower-level positions in the workplace. For so long we’ve missed it.  
You may not have “big wins” and all your career aspirations may not become your reality, but that doesn’t mean you are inadequate or that your value is reduced. Even the most seemingly minor actions, can contribute to something greater. 
If you are exhausted from the efforts of trying to reach the top and feel like you failed because others around you have succeed in their careers in ways that you only dream of, take a break, and read this book. I’m not saying it's time to give up on your dreams, but it is time to see yourself for power that you have!
