Podcast interview with Daniela Alaattinoğlu

In this podcast, Daniela Alaattinoğlu, the 2025 Nils Klim Laureate for excellent research, talks about her work as a legal scholar.

In 2025, Alaattinoğlu received the Nils Klim Prize for her research into how laws and societies evolve together, how groups mobilise for change, and how law intersectionally includes and excludes individuals and groups.

The award, funded by the Norwegian government, is worth NOK 500 000 (approx. EUR 43 000), and was conferred by the University of Bergen on June 5th 2025.

Alaattinoğlu is the first Finnish legal scholar to receive the award.

Alaattinoğlu’s key publications include the monograph Grievance Formation, Rights and Remedies: Involuntary Sterilisation and Castration in the Nordics, 1930s–2020s (2023) and the co-edited volume Contesting Femicide: Feminism and the Power of Law Revisited (2019, with Dr Adrian Howe). She has published widely in journals and edited books, and co-edits Retfærd: Nordic Journal of Law and Justice.
