      Keynote 1: Sport, gender, and violence: Changes and continuities, connections and complexitie 1h A1 Knut Hamsun

      A1 Knut Hamsun

      Nord University

      The presentation draws on published and ongoing research on sport, gender, and violence, how these ‘processes’ are interlinked and how they connect and change over time. A specific focus will also be put on men and masculinities and the progressive and destructive aspects of violence in sport. Using examples from (mainly) the Swedish and Nordic sport context, I will also discuss implications for sport institutions and how preventative measures are sometimes needed.
