Adeline Moussion Esteve is a social anthropologist. Her research focuses on gender-based violence, situated within the framework of critical trauma studies.

Her work explores the social and political dimensions that shape the experience of violence, with particular attention to the material and everyday consequences of its aftermath.

Her PhD thesis, The Domestic in Violence: Understanding the Experience of Violence Beyond Trauma in Contemporary France, compared feminist ‘expert’ discourses, trauma-informed socio-medical interventions, and women’s perceptions of both the aftermath and the experience of sexual and domestic violence. She is currently a postdoctoral researcher on Dr. Ruth Beecher’s Wellcome-funded project, Child Sexual Abuse and Recovery: Historicising Survivor and Practitioner Experiences (c.1950–2022).
