Juho Aalto serves as a Doctoral Researcher and University Teacher at the Faculty of Law, University of Turku, specializing in critical legal theory at the intersection of sex/gender binaries, human rights, and materiality. His current doctoral dissertation investigates how law constructs sex/gender and sexual orientations both discursively and materially, with particular focus on European Court of Human Rights jurisprudence.
His research synthesizes Feminist Legal Theory, Queer Legal Theory, and New Materialisms to challenge law's perceived abstraction, arguing that legal frameworks actively materialize through bodies and social structures. Key themes include deconstructing hierarchies (masculine>feminine, heterosexuality>homosexuality), agential realism, and Nordic feminist perspectives on Finnish procedural law and identification systems.
Analysis of his 2021-2024 publications reveals a cohesive trajectory toward integrating posthumanist and materialist approaches into legal scholarship, particularly regarding ECtHR adjudication, digital identity, and spatial justice. His work consistently bridges theoretical critique with practical implications for human rights law and Nordic legal reform.
