About

Annechen Bahr Bugge is a sociologist (PhD) and a Research Professor at Consumption Research Norway (SIFO), Oslo Metropolitan University. She has been researching issues related to food and eating habits for many years. In 2005, she earned her doctorate in sociology from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) with the thesis titled Dinner - a Sociological Analysis of Norwegian Dinner Practice. She completed her master's degree in sociology at the University of Oslo (UiO) in 1993.

In 2019, she published the book Fattigmenn, Tilslørte Bondepiker, and Rike Riddere, which explores Norwegian eating habits from the 1500s to the present day. The book addresses questions such as: What and how have Norwegians eaten through the ages? How have skills, knowledge, and ideas been passed down and transformed? And what can we learn from our food history?

In collaboration with Norwegian journalist and author Henry Notaker, she will publish the book Food Cultures of Norway: Cuisines, Customs, and Issues with Bloomsbury Publishing, New York, in 2025.

From 2021 to 2024, she led the research project FoodLessons, which focused on culinary heritage as a resource in building the food nation Norway 2030. The goal was to explore and communicate our culinary heritage in a way that inspires innovation and efforts for knowledge and business development. The project also aimed to showcase our diverse food and drink culture in innovative and exciting ways, as well as stimulate better interaction between traditions and new influences.

From 2025 to 2028, she will lead the research project FoodStories, which aims to increase understanding of Norway's food and drink heritage and its potential for value creation, sustainability, and cultural enrichment. Follow the project on Facebook: (3) FoodLessons | Facebook
