I´m interested in sport and physical activity in the intersection between politics, business and media. I regularly draw on critical sociological and organizational theories, and I´ve looked on various topics such as anti-doping policies, sports scandals, sponsorships, euphoria, and irony as well as being interested in the methodologies underpinning discourse analyses.
