フランソワーズ・デュサール（1959年5月14日、パリ生まれ）は、コネチカット大学の人類学部および女性・ジェンダー・セクシュアリティ研究学部の教授である。フランスとオーストラリアで教育を受け、社会人類学を専門とし、オーストラリア先住民社会と文化（およびその他の第四世界の人々）、図像学と視覚体系、ジェンダーの多様な表現、儀式と社会組織、健康と市民権などを研究対象としている。

Dussart's career in anthropology began at the Sorbonne, where she studied the ethnolinguistic nuances of West African naming systems, the culture of street performers in Paris, and the slate factories of southern France. She received her Ph.D. degree from the Australian National University for fieldwork with the Warlpiri people living in the Tanami Desert.^[1] Since then, she has also devoted herself to curatorial efforts involving the acrylic painting of Central Desert Aborigines.^[2] She has published extensively on matters of Oceanian art for scholarly journals and the popular press, in French and in English. She has also consulted for numerous museums worldwide, writing catalogs, essays and assisting in general collection development.

She is currently working on two related projects, a long-term research project, which investigates how indigenized modernity and indigenous ill-health play a prominent part in shaping neo-settler states such as Australia, for which she has published papers on how Warlpiri people from Central Australia cope with chronic ill-health on a daily basis. She curated the first comprehensive major exhibition of contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander arts (over 100 artworks) from Australia in Canada, at the Musée de la Civilisation in Quebec City. This exhibition titled Lifelines: Contemporary Indigenous Art from Australia opened 20 October 2015 and will close 6 September 2016. She currently resides in Providence with her husband and children.^[3]
