糖果派对

(In English below)

Her i marts har vi fået to nye kolleger, nemlig Niels Hjerrild og Elena Frasca.

Niels Hjerrild er blevet ansat som postdoc og er blevet tilknyttet forskningsgruppen Retten i samfundet.

Han er cand.jur. og ph.d. fra Københavns Universitet, men har også en tilknytning til 糖果派对 fra sin tid som bachelorstuderende på vores deltidsuddannelse i jura. Oprindeligt er han uddannet pressefotograf og har tidligere arbejdet som lektor på Danmarks Medie- og Journalisthøjskole. Derudover har han en lang lederkarriere i mediebranchen bag sig.

Hans medieretlige ph.d.-afhandling omhandler censurbegrebet, og hans fremtidige forskning på 糖果派对 vil ligeledes fokusere på medieretlige problemstillinger. Han vil blandt andet samarbejde med professor Sten Schaumburg-Mller fra vores institut.

Elena Frasca er fra Italien og er ph.d.-stipendiat i international ret ved Ca’ Foscari Universitet i Venedig. Hun er gæstestuderende hos os i seks måneder som en del af den double PhD degree-aftale, der er mellem hendes universitet og 糖果派对.

Elena har en kandidatgrad i jura fra Bologna Universitet, hvoraf seks måneder blev tilbragt på et udvekslingsforløb på Nova Law University i Lissabon.

Efter sin eksamen har Elena gennemført et videregående kursus i sociale og juridiske praksisser for modtagelse og integration af migranter ved Bologna Universitet. Hun har påbegyndt en juridisk praktik med henblik på at blive advokat og har arbejdet som frivillig i forskellige NGO’er i Paris inden for menneskerettighedsbeskyttelse af flygtninge og migranter.

I september 2023 begyndte hun sin ph.d.-uddannelse i international ret med forskningsprojektet: “The Gender Dimension of Technology-Facilitated Human Trafficking for Sexual Exploitation: New Challenges and the Future Legal Developments of International Law System in this Field”.

Under sit ph.d.-forløb har Elena arbejdet som undervisningsassistent og specialvejleder i international ret ved Ca’ Foscari Universitet.

Hendes primære forskningsinteresser omfatter menneskerettigheder, urbefolknings rettigheder, kønsspørgsmål og nye kritiske tilgange til international ret, herunder den feministiske metode i international ret.

I fremtiden ønsker hun at arbejde som juridisk ekspert i menneskerettigheder for internationale organisationer og europæiske institutioner.

Hjerteligt velkommen til jer begge to!

As of this month, Niels Hjerrild and Elena Frasca have joined the Department of Law.

Niels Hjerrild has joined us as a postdoc and is affiliated with the research group Law in Society.

He holds a Master of Laws (cand.jur.) and a PhD from the University of Copenhagen but also has a connection to the University of Southern Denmark from his time as a Bachelor's student in our part-time law programme. Originally trained as a press photographer, Niels has previously worked as an associate professor at the Danish School of Media and Journalism. In addition, he has had an extensive leadership career in the media industry.

His PhD thesis in media law focuses on the concept of censorship, and his future research at 糖果派对 will also concentrate on media law issues. Among others, he will be collaborating with Professor Sten Schaumburg-Müller, who is also affiliated with our department.

Elena Frasca is from Italy and is a PhD fellow in International Law at Ca' Foscari University of Venice. She is a visiting student at our department for six months since she is as part of the double degree program between her university and the University of Southern Denmark.

She has a Master of Law from the University of Bologna, six months of which were spent on a study exchange period at the Nova Law University of Lisbon.

After her graduation, Elena has completed an advanced training course in social and legal practices for the reception and integration of migrants at the University of Bologna, she has begun the legal internship to become a lawyer, and she has worked as a volunteer in various NGOs in Paris in the field of human rights protection for refugees and migrants.

In September 2023, she started her PhD in International Law with the research project title: “The Gender Dimension of Technology-Facilitated Human Trafficking for Sexual Exploitation: New Challenges and the Future Legal Developments of International Law System in this Field”.

As part of her PhD, Elena has worked as a teaching assistant and a specialist tutor for international law courses at the University of Ca' Foscari.

Her main research interests include human rights, the rights of indigenous peoples, gender issues and new critical approaches to international law, including the feminist method in international law. 

In the future, she would like to work as a human rights legal expert for international organisations and European institutions.

We welcome both of you and look forward to working with you!
