My Name is Pelle Guldborg Hansen.
I was born in 1977 by two loving parents, both school-teachers, and brought up in the country-side. Perhaps due to the limited number of people living in my home-village, or perhaps due to the slow pace of life there, or perhaps due to the fact that I didn't really fit very well into my surroundings there, I developed an interest in observing and explaining human behavior... until I ultimately emancipated as a behavioral philosopher living in what its inhabitants call "a the big city".
Today I am a Post Doc at Marekting & Management at University of Southern Denmark and Co-director of ISSP - the Inititative for Science, Society & Policy. I'm a Project Co-Director of the newly established ISSP working group on "Social Software" and I have extensive theoretical as well as practical knowledge in social processes, norms, and coordination as understood from a game theoretic perspective allowing for inductive agency. Oh... and then I'm also Chairman of the Danish Nudging Network.
Areas of specialization
Philosophy of human behavior, Decision theory, Game theory, Social convention, coordination, behavioral economics, Social science and Nudge policy-paradigm.
