Research interests
In my research, I am interested in the socialisation processes through which individuals is formed and the changes in social, cultural, and historical circumstances in which these processes are embedded. My research is focused on different parts of the field of sports and are mainly based on quantitative data. Some of the research projects I am involved in are:
- Physical Education teacher’s perceptions of the subject and profession.
- Physical Education teacher student’s practical knowledge development
- Sport Participation in Sweden
- Sports-profiled educations
- Sports’ education, talent, and selection system
