Research education

Founder, fundraiser and leader of the cross-scientific research education program in sport (REPS), 2007-2011; Research group leader 2009-2013.

Main breakthroughs within research

1) Pioneer in the field of international research in masculinity, particularly masculinity and sport, culminating with PhD and internationally with the book: Masculinity, Sport, Politics (Routledge, 2010). 2) Research in the Danish right-wing Radicalism's use of personalty cult, mass seduction and control over young people’s bodies in the 1930's and during the German occupation culminating with the book Gymnastics and Politics from 2008 about the internationally renowned gymnastics pedagogue Niels Bukh. 3) The uncovering of the fact that Danish sport was the cultural sector that by far cooperated  most intensely with the Germans during the occupation of Denmark culminating in the book: Football with the Foe from 2008, 4) Identification of a contemporary gender representation culture including illegal affirmative action in the field of art and research culminating with five research articles between 2015 and 2016 (including in Ugeskrift for Retsvæsen: Scientific Journal of Law).

External cooperation

Primarily, this comprises continued work on developing The Sports Academy in Ollerup. Not least in recognition of my books, documentaries, exhibitions and multimedia on the world renowned gymnastics educator Niels Bukh from 2001 to date, the school has been widely recognized as an important part of the Danish cultural heritage. In view of this, the school’s superintendent, Uffe Standby, and I have ensured more than 150 million DKK from different funds (Ny Carlsbergfondet, Realdania Fonden, Nykredit, AP Møller Fonden) for new art, restorations and new state of the art innovative facilities.

Current research

J.P. Müller
The internationally renowned Danish apostle of health
- A cultural historical biography of the great reformer of movement and diet.

For J.P. Müller the enlightenment only embraced half the perspective, "the spiritual emancipation". To be able to throw off the yoke of authorities and emerge as autonomous a bodily emancipation was equally important.

Johannes Lindhard
Sports Science founder
- Between physiology and the humanities

The most recent Olympic Games (Beijing, London, Sochi, Rio) 
– Sport and politics especially concerning the opening ceremonies.

Sport halls of the future
- New sport facilities that open towards inclusion and an increased level of movement (TrygFoundation, in collaboration with PhD-student Anne Sofie Tannebek).
