Doktorgradsprosjekt handlet om datomerking som en styringsteknologi og matavfallsreduksjon. Et av hennes interessefelt er mat i vid forstand.


Hun har forsket på matsystemer og bærekraftig matproduksjon og forbruk, men også om sunt kosthold og matkultur. Hennes andre interessefelt er folkehelse, kommunetilpasset helse- og velferdstjeneste, og samarbeid mellom den sivile og den offentlige sektor.

She has a master's degree in anthropology from the University of Amsterdam and a doctorate in interdisciplinary studies of culture (subdiscipline: Science and Technology Studies) from NTNU. Her doctoral project was about date labelling as a government technology and food waste reduction. One of her fields of interest is food in the broad sense.

Her research spans from food systems and sustainable food production and consumption, to healthy diets and foodculture. Her other fields of interest are public health, health and welfare services, and the cooperation between the civil and public sector.

Tanja Plasil is a senior researcher at Studio Apertura. Her work combines Social and Cultural Anthropology with Science and Technology Studies with a strong focus on how to deduct knowledge from practice and how to translate research into strategies and practices. Besides qualitative methods like interviews and participant observation she has extensive experience in participatory methods e.g. workshops, stakeholder forums, action and practitioner research, always fostering collaboration between science and practice.

Her research spans a wide range of topics concerned with sustainability, public health care and the crossing points between the welfare state and civil society. Currently she is leading the project HOME (Norwegian Research Council, NRC) which examines how timely and sustainable housing adaptation can ease the burden on care workers in the municipalities of Trondheim, Kristiansund and Sunndal. In the recently launched EU-funded project Ruralise, she will work on sustainable rural housing development in Østfold County.

Previously she has worked as a project manager at Trondheim municipality on volunteering and civil engagement in collaboration with municipal services and in collaboration with NAPHA she has led research projects on municipal mental health care services including ABC for mental health and rapid mental health help (RPH).

Another field of interest is food and food systems in the broad sense. Her research spans from food safety and sustainable food production/consumption to healthy diets and food culture. Her doctoral thesis and several articles problematized date labelling as a government technology, her work on immigration in Belize and Argentina centred around food as a way for integration and separation and her project HEL-KOST enhanced knowledge about diet and nutrition among people with intellectual disabilities.
