Andrew Dickson

I am a senior lecturer at Massey University. I hold undergraduate degrees in biochemistry and business. My research interests involve applying a psychoanalytic lens to topics in the wider ‘health’ industry including: the impact of managerialism; gender relations; and embodied alienation in the sport sector. My PhD research was specifically on the weight-loss industry, where I used radical psychoanalytic theory to understand how the diet industry produces faithful consumers.
