Dahlstedt's research centers on citizenship formation in contemporary society shaped by welfare policy transformations and international migration. His work examines how citizenship is concretely formed in segregated urban environments, focusing particularly on the gap between formal rights and substantive living conditions. He investigates social pedagogical efforts across public policy, education, and the non-profit sector, with special attention to vulnerable groups including young people with foreign backgrounds in urban peripheries. His methodological approach is interdisciplinary, grounded in critical power analysis, discourse analysis, and ideological critique, often involving cross-disciplinary research collaborations. His recent publications reveal consistent thematic focus on migration, social inclusion, and urban segregation, with particular emphasis on how sports can serve as tools for social purposes in marginalized communities. The research shows increasing attention to longitudinal studies of migrants' trajectories and the role of different educational contexts (high school, folk high schools, study associations) in integration processes. Dahlstedt's work demonstrates strong policy relevance, with findings frequently presented in government agency reports and informing public debate on segregation and inclusion. Researcher at Center for Community Strategies Research (2018-2021) Member of Mimerrådet, National Program for Folk Education Research (since 2014) Department Head at Remeso, Linköping University (2012-2015) Dahlstedt actively contributes to public discourse through media appearances, public lectures, and alternative writing projects including the anthology 'Brandtal' (2023) and 'Hårdare kan ingen vara' (2023), while preparing 'En professors dagbok' for publication in fall 2024.
