Melldahl's research examines class dynamics in production settings, social closure mechanisms within cultural elites, and reproduction strategies among economic elites. His work frequently employs prosopographical methods and correspondence analysis to trace historical patterns of privilege and access to artistic institutions.
His publications reveal strong engagement with social reproduction theory, particularly through studies of Sweden's economic elite education strategies and the interplay between inherited vs. acquired capital in artistic careers. Recurring themes include cultural capital, elite formation, and institutional gatekeeping across 20th-century Sweden.
Key methodological contributions involve collective biography approaches and social space mapping techniques inspired by Bourdieu. His empirical projects span topics from county theatre finances to transnational educational exchanges in early 20th-century Sweden.
