About Daniel Alsarve

Daniel Alsarve is a doctor in history and the research interest is primarily directed at issues related to sport, gender, violence, democracy and power from the 20th century and onwards. In the project ‘Ice hockey in change: masculinity ideal and violence norms in Swedish hockey about 1965 until today’, questions are asked about which masculinity ideals that were encouraged and confirmed in Swedish ice hockey and how these changed over time. A special focus is also placed on which norms of violence, in the broad sense, that can be identified and how these may change over time. The project runs from 1 February 2019 to December 2022 and is funded by the Swedish Research Council for Sport Science.

Alsarve is editor of Sports, History and Society and has since 2019 been a member of the Swedish Sports History Association. Alsarve is part of the ReSHAPE research environment and, together with Jeff Hearn, runs the Research Group Critical Studies on Men and Masculinities (RGCSMM). Alsarve has taught history, sports science and pedagogy.
