Martina Kolanoski

Martina Kolanoski is a research associate in the Cluster Energy Transition in the Baltic Sea Region. Her qualitative, socio-legal research focuses on questions of acceptance as well as on the integration of the energy market.

Martina studied political science, modern history and public law in Potsdam and Berlin (HU/FU). Her socio-legal dissertation Juridification of warfare and limits of accountability: An ethnomethodological investigation into the production and assessment of legal targeting at Goethe University Frankfurt/Main (2019) develops a practice perspective on aspects of international criminal law and the distinction between civilians and insurgents as situated accomplishments. After work experiences as a research assistant at the German Parliament (2010–2011), she started her teaching and research activities in sociology, first in a binational teaching-research project at the University of Bochum (2011–2013) and then as a research assistant at the Chair for Interpretative Social Research at Goethe University, Frankfurt/Main (2013–2022). She was a Research Fellow at the University of Liverpool (2016–2022) and Visiting Fellow at the German Institute for Human Rights (2021–2022).
