Christian Tolstrup Jensen, PhD, is a sports historian affiliated with Malmö University where he currently works as a postdoc researcher at the Dept. of Sport Sciences. His current research focuses on sports events, but his interest in sport studies is varied and wide: Danish and Scandinavian sport history ranging from Norwegian ice hockey to Danish football; youth history and culture, and especially the history of the scout movement. An ongoing project revolves around sport events and their role and position in the Nordic countries.
