About Ericka’s research

My research approaches the patient and the medical body as known through medical technology, broadly defined. Of particular interest is how knowledge about the body is constructed and reproduced. Together with colleagues from Linköping University, Uppsala University, Växjö and Lancaster University, I am studying the intra-actions between medical technology and patient identity. I am leading two larger, interdisciplinary projects: Prescriptive Prescriptions. Pharmaceuticals and ‘Healthy’ Subjectivities and A Constant Torment. Tracing the Discursive Contours of the Aging Prostate.
