Interests

Read more about my interests in teaching, research and collaboration.

I teach at all levels (basic, advanced and postgraduate), mainly within GIH's teacher education and within postgraduate education.

Both my teaching and my research address issues in physical education and sport pedagogy (see more under the heading Research interests).

My research within sport pedagogy and physical education spans two main areas:

1) on gender and sexuality within movement cultures in a broad sense, but especially within children's and youth sports.

2) on learning movement skills in different movement cultures, including in the school subject physical education and health.

My work includes extensive collaboration, both within academia - with colleagues at Swedish and foreign universities, and outside academia - with teachers and leaders in sports and physical education and health.
