Public defence of doctoral thesis | A Multiverse of Talent – Contemporary Understandings of Talent in Swedish and German Elite Youth Football | Leah Monsees, Malmö University, May 22,...
What is the meaning of talent? What do ancient people and the bible have to do with how we think about talent in the 21st century? And what happens when we deep-dive into the meanings and constructions of how talent is understood today? Does it mean anything at all? In her dissertation, Leah Monsees critically examines the contemporary constructions of talent in sports. Drawing from qualitative research of talent representations in German and Swedish contexts, Monsees explores talent understandings from a variety of angles.
