About me

My name is Daniela Alaattinoğlu and I am an Icelandic Research Fund Postdoctoral Researcher at the Faculty of Law at the University of Iceland. My postdoctoral project (2020-2023) investigates the rights and mobilisation of intersex people in Iceland and the other Nordic countries.

Before joining the Faculty of Law at the University of Iceland, I was a Senior Researcher at the University of Turku, where I worked on two projects: one on attrition in the Finnish criminal legal process (funded by the Finnish Ministry of Justice) and one on the legal standard of explicit consent and sharing of intimate data (funded by the Academy of Finland). I defended my PhD in law in 2019 at the European University Institute. During my doctoral research, I held visiting fellowships at the University of Melbourne (2018) and the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology (2019). Apart from academia, my previous work experience includes working as a legal researcher at the Istanbul-based NGO TOHAV and a lecturer of criminal law at the Police College of Finland.

My areas of expertise are gender and law, human rights, socio-legal studies, reparations, comparative public law, criminal law and law and technology.
