Welcome!
I am a philosopher specialized in the philosophy of the social sciences (and the humanities). My main areas of research are: values and objectivity in the social sciences, the individualism/holism debate, qualitative methods, research ethics, social theories of practice, the philosophy of anthropology and sociology, and the role of science in society.
I am Professor in the Department of Philosophy at University of Bergen. To get in touch, send an email to Julie.Zahle@uib.no or juliezahle@gmail.com.
