Zsofia is interested in the history and theory of ethnology, and ethnography from the eighteenth century on. Her specialization is rediscovering the work of scholars whose place in disciplinary history has been obscured by their ideas or praxis being connoted with surpassed paradigms, while surviving in new environments.

She firmly believes that the encapsulation of anticanonical academic motives of these apparently defeated anthropologies challenges our established social scientific theories and methods for the study of spiritual and esoteric phenomena amongst others.

Her field research focuses on the relationship between myth, cosmology, and politics in Bolivia. Her ethnographic interests inform theoretical concerns such as the link between worldview, spiritual tradition, secularism, cultural relativism, and  political ontology.
