Nina Teresa Kiderlin

Nina Teresa Kiderlin is a SNSF postdoctoral researcher at the médialab. Her postdoc project explores how in an era of digital finance and rapid digitalisation of financial services, regulation is a site of social interaction across multiple stakeholders that transcend institutional boundaries and challenge categories of neoliberal epistemology of what is defined as public and private, innovation and regulation. It focuses on regulatory sandboxes and regulators as professionals as key sites of socio-legal developments in regulating shaping the digital transformation in finance. The project relies on different digital methods, archival work, and semi-structured interviews to map and analyse this new field of regulation.

She holds a PhD in Sociology from the Geneva Graduate Institute, Switzerland. Her research relies on mixed methods focusing on computational sociology and archival research to explore how the political economy of technology and finance is regulated at the transnational level. She has conducted work on the privacy and transnational data flows, digital persona, international trade law, and knowledge production and expertise in disciplinary sociology.
