About me

Neli Frost is an Assistant Professor researching and teaching at the intersection of law, technology, and political theory. Prior to joining the LSE in September 2025, Neli was the Massada Junior Research Fellow at Worcester College, University of Oxford, an Early Career Fellow at the Bonavero Institute of Human Rights, University of Oxford (2023-2025) and an affiliate of the Information Law Institute at New York University School of Law (2022-2025). Before that she was a Hauser Global Postdoctoral Fellow at New York University School of Law (2022-2023), and completed her PhD at the University of Cambridge in 2022. Neli’s work has been published in leading journals including the Oxford Journal of Legal Studies, European Journal of International Law, International Journal of Constitutional Law, NYU Journal of International Law & Politics, and the Cambridge International Law Journal.

Research interests

My research explores the transformative effects that digital and AI technologies have on democratic ideals, principles, structures, and institutions. My work to date has centred on the deployment of digital and AI technologies by both public and private actors, taking domestic and global perspectives on the challenges these give rise to. My current research focuses on the notion of the ‘public’ in political theory and jurisprudential thought, and on the ways in which it is disrupted by the increasing mediation of political and legal interactions by technology.
