Laura Detels

Laura Detels is a Doctoral Candidate and Research Associate at the Chair of Interorganizational Information Systems within the Faculty of Business and Economics at the University of Göttingen since 2024. Her academic work bridges digital governance, information systems, and international relations.

Her educational foundation includes:

• M.Sc. in Development and International Relations from Aalborg University (2022)
• LL.M. in China and International Relations from the University of International Relations Beijing (2022)
• Dual B.A. degrees from the University of Passau: Governance and Public Policy, and International Cultural and Business Studies (2020)

Her research critically examines digital surveillance mechanisms and cross-border data sharing frameworks, with particular focus on power asymmetries in global data flows. She investigates how marginalized communities achieve digital empowerment through grassroots technology adoption, while her digital health work analyzes telemedicine equity in Southeast Asia. These interconnected interests position her at the intersection of technology policy and human rights.

As a reviewer for Information & Management journal and ICIS/WI conferences, she contributes to academic discourse. Her teaching encompasses Bachelor's courses in Selected Issues in Digitalization and Master's instruction in Digital Strategy, including thesis supervision for both programs. Though not explicitly stated, her research associate role likely involves collaborative projects within the Chair's ecosystem.

The Chair of Interorganizational Information Systems serves as her primary academic base, where she engages with research teams exploring digital transformation in public and private sector networks across Germany and international contexts.
