Erica von Essen

Updated profile and contact info at new affiliation

Erica von Essen is a researcher with the Environmental Communication division at the Department of Urban and Rural Development. She conducts non-disciplinary research on human-animal relations. Erica looks at the full scope of human-wildlife interactions in contemporary society, including conflicts, killing, ethics, wildlife management, rewilding and hunting.

She pursues a part of her research with Professor of Legal, Political and Social Philosophy Michael Allen. Together, they examine resistance and disobedience in the full spectrum of animals: on behalf of animals and animal rights; against animal issues and conservation directives (her Ph.D. thesis in 2016 was on illegal hunting as a form of dissent in the Nordic countries) and even resistance by animals as agents in themselves.

Erica is published across a wide range of disciplinary communities such as Rural Sociology, Criminology, Environmental Ethics and Communication Studies. She is a reviewer for more than 20 peer-reviewed journals. Her popular scientific publications can also be found in hunting magazines.

Among her theoretical frameworks are relational care ethics and various theories of resistance (civil, disruptive, everyday, systemic) as pertains to the environment.
