Josef Ginnerskov is a postdoctoral researcher in analytical sociology and a junior fellow at The Swedish Excellence Centre for Computational Social Science (SweCSS) at Linköping University. His research examines the evolution of institutionalized knowledge and values, using computational techniques to model these complex social processes. Ginnerskov holds a PhD in sociology from Uppsala University, where he studied the existence of Kuhnian paradigms by analyzing extensive corpora of doctoral dissertations. Combining computational methods with the philosophy of science, his work offered new perspectives on how disciplinary thought develops and changes over time. Currently, Ginnerskov continues to explore the intersection of sociological inquiry and data-driven approaches, focusing on how beliefs about truth shape—and are shaped by—society.
