Miriam Tedeschi

Miriam Tedeschi serves as a Senior Researcher at the Faculty of Law, University of Turku, and holds a docentship in Human Geography at the Department of Geography and Geology. She leads the Research Council of Finland-funded project 'Justice in Digital Spaces' (JuDiCe, 2022-2025) and maintains a fellowship at the Westminster Law & Theory Lab, London.

Her academic foundation includes a PhD in Regional Planning and Public Policies (University Institute of Architecture, Venice, 2017), an MA in Philosophy, and a BSc in Digital Communication. Prior to doctoral studies, she accumulated 15 years of professional experience as an ICT research consultant.

Tedeschi's scholarship merges non-representational theories and new materialism to interrogate spatio-legal dynamics across segregated spaces, migratory contexts, natural environments, and digital-physical hybrids. Her work pioneers digital spatial justice frameworks, critically examining how datafication reshapes urban equity through empirical ethnography and theoretical innovation.

Analysis of her 2023-2025 publications reveals a decisive pivot toward computational justice, where legal geography intersects with AI ethics, urban informatics, and posthuman jurisprudence. These works collectively forge transdisciplinary pathways for reimagining justice in algorithmically mediated spaces.

Her scientific recognition includes:

• Westminster Law & Theory Lab Fellowship

As an educator, Tedeschi directs 'Law and the Urban' (2022-present) and co-teaches 'Systemschange.now' (2020-2024). Her JuDiCe project exemplifies major grant leadership, integrating spatial theory with digital rights advocacy through Finland's premier research funding mechanism.

She co-founded the 'Law, Space and Justice' research environment at Turku's Faculty of Law, catalyzing cross-institutional collaboration on justice-oriented spatial interventions.
