Duane Rousselle (born April 28, 1982) is a Canadian sociological theorist, Lacanian psychoanalyst,[1] and Professor of Sociology.[2] He works in several academic fields including Social Movement Studies, Lacanian Psychoanalysis, Cultural Sociology, Gender and Sexuality Studies, Anarchist Studies, and Continental Philosophy. His work attempts to introduce an alternative to scholarly discourses that aim to produce consistent and coherent bodies of knowledge (e.g., "University Discourse"). It also offers a counterpoint to what Jacques Lacan has called "capitalist discourse."

He helped to contribute to the emergence of a new field of scholarly investigation known as "post-anarchism." He founded and edits the journal Anarchist Developments in Cultural Studies.[3] He is a noted Canadian public intellectual.[4] He is often referred to as among the second generation of the Ljubljana school of psychoanalysis alongside Todd McGowan.[5] His work has been translated into multiple languages, including Russian, Arabic, Turkish, and Spanish.
