Susanne Højlund

I am an anthropologist, working at Aarhus University. Through the years I have done research on children and childhood, Danish welfare institutions, the meaning of hominess, Cuban sugar cultures and food anthropology. I recently wrote the book Taste (until now only available in Danish) where I argue for taste as a social and cultural concept. I teach fieldwork methodology, food culture and museum exhibition/anthropological dissemination. I have worked with several experimental projects on food and taste, and am also engaged in filmmaking and visual anthropology. Click below to access my research program. 

 

 

At the moment I am also organizing the symposium Creative Tastebuds on sustainability and taste. Visit the webpage for more info
