Het hoger beroep in vreemdelingenzaken (2002)
In this book, which contains the material on which I based my inaugural lecture, I have analysed the case law of the Judicial Department of the Dutch Council of State between 1 April 2001 (when the Council became competent to hear immigration appeals) and late August 2002.

Gender and Refugee Status (1999/2000)
This book is my PhD, a combined legal and sociological project on women and refugee status. It consists of (a) a statistical analysis (b) a content analysis of 252 asylum files of single women who applied for asylum in the Netherlands in 1994 (c) an analysis of all case law I could find in Dutch, English, French and German (d) an analysis of the debate among academics, NGO’s and policy makers.
The book was published by Ashgate in 2000. The version released here is the PhD version, printed in 1999. The PhD version is identical, but (a) contains more typos than the Ashgate version and (b) at some points the page numbering differs. I suggest that you refer to this version as Spijkerboer 1999/2000.
Notes on Fassbinder’s ‘Angst essen Seele auf’ (1998)

This article addresses the issue whether discourse analysis, when taken seriously, allows for positions that go against dominant discourse. I do so by analyzing Fassbinder’s movie ‘Angst essen Seele auf’ (Fear Eats the Soul) from 1974.

Querelle Asks for Asylum (1998)
In this article, I read a court decision on a gay asylum applicant through the lens of Fassbinder’s movie Querelle. I argue that when advocating asylum for persecuted LGBT people, notions of sexual identity should be simultaneously rejected.

Sheherazade en haar zusters. Sexueel geweld en vluchtelingenrecht (1994)
In this law review article (in Dutch), I analyze how Dutch case law deals with asylum claims made by women who have been subjected to sexual violence.

Women and refugee status (1994)
A report for the Dutch Emancipation Council, with an overview of literature. With the work of Heaven Crawley, Audrey Macklin and Sherene Razack from the same period, this text marks the beginning of an anti-essentialist perspective on gender and refugee law.
