Football for Inclusion: Examining the Pedagogic Rationalities and the Technologies of Solidarity of a Sports-Based Intervention in Sweden

“…We analyse the tensions and conflicts that are articulated, and the boundaries and lines of conflict that are created through a specific intervention-football as a means of inclusion.
