Aaron James Goldman

Guest researcher

I am a guest researcher at the University of Copenhagen's Søren Kierkegaard Research Centre, conducting research for a personal pilot project titled Resources in Kierkegaard for Rethinking the Religious & the Secular (funded by the American Scandinavian Foundation and Lund University's HT-Faculties).

I specialize in philosophical and religious thought of the modern West, though I am broadly interested in ethics, conceptions of selfhood, and theories and methods in religious studies. For my primary research trajectory, I examine Søren Kierkegaard's accounts of faith and modernity. As a secondary research trajectory, I investigate conspiritualities (such as QAnon) from a perspective empowered by modern philosophy and classic theories of religion.

I am formally employed as a research fellow at Lund University's Centre for Theology and Religious Studies in Sweden. I divide my time there between several projects, including At the End of the World (funded by Riksbankens Jubileumsfond), Beyond Truth and Lies (funded by the LMK Foundation), and Kierkegaard, Modernity & Critique (funded by the Crafoord Foundation). I am also affiliated with Lund's Christianity & Nationalism research platform and Lund University's research profile in Human Rights.
