The Department conducts teaching and research from the
social science and
humanistic perspective.
This involves an approach where sport is interpreted as an arena and a field for empirical research for the formation and transformation of meaning, identity and values.
The focus is on social and institutional structures, as much as on the individual’s experience and actions.
