Stig Hagström scholar Henrik Ernstson to the EHL

From studies in Physics (Linköping University) and Systems Ecology (Stockholm University), Henrik has developed a core interest in urban political ecology, collective action, and African urbanism in which he draws on relational social movement theory, actor-network theory and postfoundational political thought to unpack the inherently political of urban environments. Recent publications include "Provincializing Urban Political Ecology" (2013, forthcoming in Antipode with M Lawhon and J Silver), "The Social Production of Ecosystem Services" (2013), and "Ecosystem Services as Technology of Globalization" (2013 with S Sörlin).

Henrik is currently is editing a book with Sverker Sörlin on " Grounding Urban Natures: Histories and Futures of Urban Political Ecologies " with environmental historical and critical studies from China, India, South Africa, Nigeria, Brazil, Germany, and USA. He recently submitted a special issue to IJURR on "Politicizing African Urban Environments" with Mary Lawhon and Jonathan Silver with studies from Burkina Faso, Ghana and South Africa.
