Biography
Duane Rousselle is a clinical Lacanian psychoanalyst whose work explores the consequences of a ‘missed encounter’ with Freud within early American sociology. His work intervenes into contemporary debates in cultural sociology through Lacanian psychoanalysis: social movement studies, the sociology of health (trauma, autism, addictions, etc.), and sociological explorations of Islam.
