Jonas House is a postdoctoral researcher at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden, affiliated with the Department of Industrial Economics and Management (INDEK). His research investigates dietary change from a sociological perspective, focusing on established food practices and the shifts in food consumption. He examines how novel foods become recognized, how foods travel to new locations, and how public tastes and cultural notions of ‘food’ evolve. His research at KTH utilizes a range of empirical examples to explore how specific items are classified as 'food' both practically and culturally. Prior to joining KTH, Jonas was based at Wageningen University in the Netherlands where he taught sociology and conducted research on sustainable food system transitions. His work at Wageningen covered culturally appropriate food, plant-based meat analogues, and emphasized the importance of transdisciplinary research. Jonas completed his PhD at the University of Sheffield in the UK, focusing on public acceptance of insects as food in the Netherlands, and has also undertaken historical research on the establishment of sushi in various cultural contexts.
