Title: Grant to study city's Irish gays
Post by: Uncle Mort on March 27, 2008, 01:11:02 PM: Now I am all for scientific research but of what use is this? (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/essex/7316346.stm)

A university has been given £82,000 of taxpayers money to examine experiences of Irish homosexuals living in London.

Sociologist Roisin Ryan-Flood, leading the project, said: "By exploring the relationship between sexuality, ethnicity, and migration, the study will uncover the ways in which contemporary sexual citizenship, migration and LGBT imaginaries of the metropolis are mutually implicated in complex ways."
