About Diana Diletta Charlotte Bernardini

Diana Bernardini is a PhD student in Political Science at the University of Gothenburg. Her research engages with questions of judicial politics and governance, human rights, and the rule of law under democratic stress. 

She holds a bachelor’s degree in European Law from Maastricht University, where she also pursued a minor in Development Studies at the University of Amsterdam, and a master’s degree in International Affairs with a specialization in Human Rights and Governance from the Hertie School in Berlin. Diana has developed expertise in human rights law, teaching a bachelor-level course at Maastricht University and contributing to the Centre for Fundamental Rights at the Hertie School as a research assistant.

Beyond academia, she has gained experience in policy analysis, communication, and monitoring—first at the Global Public Policy Institute (GPPi), and later as a Junior Policy Officer at the European Society of Radiology. Across these roles, her work has consistently sought to bridge the gap between law and policy.
