Diego García Rodríguez is a Leverhulme Research Fellow at the University of Nottingham. He is currently conducting research on the experiences of LGBT religious refugees and asylum seekers vis-à-vis the homonormative practices of asylum assessment in the UK context.

He was previously a Lecturer in Global Health at the Brighton and Sussex Medical School, where he also conducted research on HIV and the social lives of medicines. His PhD thesis explored the everyday religion of queer Muslims and the emergence of pro-queer Islamic discourses in contemporary Indonesia to develop a theory of queer religious agency.
