Alisa Hastedt

Alisa is a visiting doctoral student at the Centre for Socio-Legal Studies from the University of Bonn. Her thesis explores to which extent technology should be used to make unlawful behaviour impossible. Her research project is supervised by Jun.-Professor Luna Rösinger and is funded by a scholarship of the Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes (German Academic Scholarship Foundation). She has presented parts of her research at the Conference of the Research Network Young Digital Law 2021 which was followed by a publication in the German Legal Journal Multimedia und Recht (Multimedia and Law) 2021.

Recently, in September 2023, she has published another article in the Conference transcript of the Fachtagung der kriminologischen Gesellschaft (Scientific Conference of the Society of Criminology) 2022. During her time at the Centre, she will examine if unlawful behaviour contributes to society and if this knowledge can be used to substantiate a legal right to the possibility to break the law. This research will be supervised by Professor Florian Grisel.

She spent part of her doctoral studies at the University of Cologne, where she was co-leader of the doctoral discussion group and the scientific working group of the Refugee Law Clinic. While working as a research assistant and tutor at the University of Cologne, students ranked her tutorials in criminal law on the first place. Prior to her doctoral studies, Alisa studied law (First state exam 2019) and piano (Bachelor of music 2017) at the University of Münster and the University of Iceland. She teaches piano and is involved in various music projects, e.g. as a singer in the Young Chamber Choir Cologne.
