Research

Tedeschi is a legal ethnographer and geographer and has multiple years of experience in carrying out ethnographic work in a variety of spatio-techno-legal contexts: segregated or criminalized spaces (Ph.D. research project, IUAV University & University of Westminster, 2014-2017); migratory spaces (PostDoc research project, Division of Geography, University of Turku, 2018-2019); natural spaces (WP leader, Division of Geography, University of Turku, 2020-2021); blended (physical/digital) spaces (own Research Council of Finland projects, Faculty of Law, University of Turku, 2022-2025; 2025-2029). In her research-based teaching, Tedeschi has been pushing the boundaries of law and, through creative methods (e.g. mixed-media material daily diaries and design methods), co-researching with law and geography students the bodily, everyday effects of multiple, intersecting normativities and legalities on everyday socio-spatio-techno contexts.

She is currently PI of 'Agency in everyday Datafication' (AgenDa), funded by the Research Council of Finland.
