Erica is an ARC DECRA fellow. Her current research focuses on the cultural and social contexts of abortion provision.

Erica's first book, Happy Abortions: Our Bodies in the Era of Choice was published by Zed Books in December 2017. The book examines how anti-abortion messages are infused into common ways of talking about abortion. The book has been described by Sinéad Kennedy of the Coalition to Repeal the 8th Amendment in Ireland as ‘A provocative and important book that every pro-choice advocate should read.’
