Alezini’s PhD thesis was awarded the 2023 Oscar II Prize for best thesis in the Lund Faculty of Law, the 2024 Lund University Agenda 2030 Honourable mention for interdisciplinary research on sustainable development by early career scholars, and the EGLP 2024 Thesis Prize for the best doctoral public law thesis characterized by its European dimension. A revised version of her dissertation has been published as a monograph with the title Sustainability and EU Migration Law, Tracing the History of a Contemporary Concept (CUP 2025) and was awarded the UACES Best Book Prize 2026. She has also co-edited the volume The Reasoning of the Court of Justice of the EU: A Normative Assessment (OUP 2025).

Alezini's research has developped along three tracks.

The first track focuses on the social pillar of sustainability in EU law. In the context of her PhD research as well as in two projects led by Associate Professor Daria Davitti (Screening for Sustainability) and Dr. Britta Sjöstedt and Associate Professor Daria Davitti (Implementing the European Green Deal through the Eu Taxonomy Regulation) funded by Formas and MMW, Alezini closely examined aspects of social sustainability in EU Law by a focus on the institutional practice of various EU actors. Her aim was to critically investigate the way in which EU law and policy is construed as as means to pursue sustainable societies. 

The second track develops critical legal historical accounts of EU migration law, social rights and EU social policy. Building on archival material, Alezini's research contextualizes legal developments and reconstructs the past of EU law by highlighting continuities in the way EU law rights are construed, extended, and limited against the background of various geo-political transformations.

The third track focuses on the political economy of EU migration law. By investigating both past and contemporary legal frameworks, Alezini traces the way economic considerations affect the attribution, extension and limitation of rights for different categories of migrants. 

Alezini is inolved in the teaching of various courses at different cycles of legal education (Swedish Law Programme, Advanced Elective Courses, European Business Law Master's and International Human Rights Law Master's). 

She coordinates together with Associate Professor Vladislava Stoyanova a course on European Fundamental Rights Protection and together with Marcus Utterström and Sara Arapiles a course on Legal Methods in Theory and Practice.

Alezini is a member of the EU Law and the Migration Law Research Environment at the Faculty of Law, Lund University and a convenor of the EU Law Discussion Group, sponsored by the Centre for European Studies at Lund University.

She is the managing editor of the Nordic Journal of European Law, an open-access and peer reviewed journal of European law with a Nordic perspective.

Committed to advancing law teaching above and beyond traditional teaching methods, Alezini is a board member of the European Law Moot Court (ELMC) Society. The aim of the ELMC Society is to support and stimulate studies in EU Law and to challenge students to develop their research and advocacy skills beyond the classroom. Since 1988, the Society has been organising the ELMC Competition, an annual international moot court competition, which is considered the most prestigious moot court competition within the field of EU Law and one of the most important moot court competitions in the world.
