Buffy Scholar/Critic

Angie Burns was a Senior Lecturer in Psychology at Staffordshire University (UK) until she retired in August 2005. Her research has focused on emotional and sexual aspects of intimate relationships - desire, love, jealousy, infidelity. Her approach has been feminist, discursive and transdisciplinary, drawing on work in social psychology, sociology, literature studies, cultural studies and women’s studies. Her PhD thesis (the Open University, UK) was entitled ‘Professions of Love: The discursive construction of love and romance in intimate heterosexual relationships'. She has published papers on gender and love in Psychology journals. From 2000 to 2006 she was an Associate Editor of the international journal Feminism & Psychology. 

Now she has more time to write fiction (and Buffy is a great model), travel and grow vegetables.
