Forskningsprofil

I am a passionate qualitative researcher trained in humanities and social sport sciences. My academic background is international – I have worked and studied at the University of Vienna (Austria), the University of Copenhagen, the University of Alberta (Canada) and at Aalborg University. My research focuses in particular on health disparities and ethnic minorities’ participation in sport and physical activity, exploring their perspectives and lived experiences. In addition, I am also interested in new, alternative sports (so-called lifestyle sports) and digital technologies and virtual communities in sport. I am an engaged supervisor of BA and MA-students and find great joy in seeing students’ progress. I am a book review editor and member of the editorial board of the European Journal for Sport and Society and currently co-editing the Elgar Encyclopedia of the Sociology of Sport.
