- Primary Affiliation: Department of Political Science, Aarhus University
- Secondary Affiliation: History and Philosophy of Science Department, Cambridge University
Research Interests: Godman investigates the metaphysics and ethics of human kinds, particularly how historical and cultural continuity in groups (e.g., gender, ethnicity, indigenous communities) might justify moral claims to group rights. Her work synthesizes philosophy of science with political theory, emphasizing the role of cultural learning in shaping group identity and normativity. She also explores reactivity in the human sciences and interactive effects in scientific constructs.
Scientific Awards:
- Sapere Aude Research Leader Grant (Independent Research Council, Denmark)
- Exploratory Workshop Grant (Nordic Research Councils)
Projects: She led the Sapere Aude-funded project (2020–2023) on historical kinds and group rights, and co-led a workshop series on reactivity in the human sciences (2019–2022). Her recent work examines cultural copying accounts of group membership and their implications for affirmative action and minority rights.
